Maybe somebody could write some rules, and invent a character that is supposed to look after them.

So what, the point is not aimed at you. It's aimed at the vast majority of people who waste every sunday morning going to church. The people who currently waste time praying 5 times a day whilst they should be doing their job. The people who starve themselves all day and feast on the night for absolutely no logical fucking reason. I could give you no end of examples of people wasting time on religion.

Well ... if all that wasted time creates some pretty stained glass, some nice architecture or a pretty bit of music .. what's the harm?
