Primate Prevarication

The one area of human culture I had to leave out of today's cartoon, on account of space, was the biggest and most profitable segment of fiction of them all...

Religion.

Holy crap!

What a bullshit story these collections of myths and legends tell and holy crap! are there way too many humans who just can't tell the difference between a spring rain and the local priest/rabbi/shaman/Xenus peeing on their legs.

If you believe in god then you have to believe that he specifically designed your brain to unquestioningly accept the load of rubbish that you now unquestioningly believe, a sort of philosophic death spiral where the more you believe, the dumber you get. You might lose all rational capability to the extent that you begin to believe that Conservatives are patriots and that Putin is fighting Ukrainian aggression.

Hell! You might even vote for Trump.

Technical note: Yeah, I know I drew the Moby dick book "backward" but, screw it, I'm going to consider that the back of the dust cover. Or that it was printed by the same company that printed Trump's upside-down Bible.
