Religion

3 Conversations

A practice or set of practices which help people come to terms with the fact that everything is beyond their control. These practises usually involve appeasing supernatural beings who people rely on to take care of those aspects of their lives that they wish they could have a bit of sway over. Sometimes they work and everybody is happy, and sometimes they don't and you only have yourself to blame. If someone comes along and tells you that they have the answer to making things easy for you without the help of a god or something this is called "the work of the devil". Most religions think that other religions are "the work of the devil" which causes all sorts of problems. Management courses which make people believe that they have everything under control could also be considered "the work of the devil".
