Religion
is not just the
following of
imaginary
beings but the
following of
people who are
following the
people who claim
to know what an
imaginary
being will want.
Being told

invisible
being who
wants all your
money by

claims he has

bunyips,
jack frost,
unicorns,
yetis,
tooth fairies,
minotaur,
leprechauns,
father xmas,
nessie,
gorgons,
poltergeists,
dragons,
aliens,
and ghosts.

If you think after
Coronavirus,
corporations
will stop
exploiting
workers,
will stop
trashing

will stop
supporting

will stop
buying
elections,
will start
paying
taxes,
you’re living
in a parallel
universe.
Worth
remembering
in these
frightening
times – all
imaginary
friends are
equally
imaginary.
If the
answer
is prayer
you are
asking the
wrong
question.
Religious
Robots is a
