Religion is like a... What!?

[chrisbellekom]

Yes, but what are the implications?

Implications, I'll leave them alone for now and answer the question the thread title suggested to me.

Religion is like an ancient video surveillance system.

[Martin TK]

Religion is like a poison and it poisons EVERYTHING.

Religion is like a plague, if you isolate the victims, sooner or later the sickness will die out.

I kinda liked the recent twitter addition, though it's christianity specific:
The bible is like a software agreement, most people don't read it, they just skip to the bottom and click 'I agree'."

Or something like that.

Religion is like the like, but focuses hate for the other.

Religion likes the like, but hates the other.

Peace and fellowship for the in group.
Outsiders aren't quite human, atrocities are allowed, even encouraged.

Ye probably, but I can imagine church goers planning business after church to exclude non attendees.

Anyway I was trying to hijack the thread and get people to answer the question "Religion is like a... What!?" with something unfavourable.

Religion is like a toddlers dummy (pacifier?) for the immature/the bigger baby.

church is like 4chan: even intelligent people get stupid when they show up

Religion tries to be good but because humans are imperfect fails.
