Helplessness In essence, religion arose out of the human feeling of helplessness. This is also the reason for its survival today.
Prayer Why would I pray to a merciless God?! To save me (I don’t care about the others)? Religiosity is pure selfishness and hypocrisy.
Argument An argument for the afterlife: if this life is all there is, it would be quite meaningless to live. Then again, who said that it shouldn’t be?
Consolation As we grow older (and run out of answers and time), religion looks better and better. It doesn’t offer answers, but it does offer consolation.
Brain God gave a brain to a man, but with greed built in, as if to make sure that it won’t be used for any good deed.
