On this "holy" day, a bit of musing:
If $Deity exists and is omnipotent, then it's a monster that created horrible suffering and/or just lets it happen.
And if it's not omnipotent, then it's not the big powerful entity its followers claim.
Either way, what's the point of worshiping such a thing? Just because you're afraid that if you don't, it's going to make you even more miserable after death? Or you're hoping for favors?
