Level 6 · 9 mo agoThat Stephen King comparison is spot on. Scaring a kid with hellfire is just messed up parenting.

Level 4 · 8 mo agoThe point about monotonous rituals building discipline is just like grinding events. You replay the same stage 50 times not for fun but for the drops. Religion is basically the original battle pass.
