I finally found it. A feasible argument for religion, presenting a good reason to lie to people about a higher entity that would back them, no matter how badly they screwed up.
Back then, when life was all about getting rice/potatoes/hummel/other staple food into your stomach so you could carry on for another day, it wasn’t that bad.
Today, it’s already a granted that food will be in front of you. Now, people have to maintain social circles, keep a blog, update facebook frequently, earn money, earn more money, earn even more money, invest in stocks, watch the fuel consumption of their cars, take care of children, jump through a blazing wheel, set a guinness world record, get seven figures on their bankbooks and upkeep a facade of at least decency – all without going crazy.
And sometimes, we are just not strong enough, and we need something to keep us going. That’s what religion is – It’s like mental morphine.
