      When you buy a piece of software and find a load of stuff about the license being invalid if you are anything to do with psychiatry.

      That was indeed a WTF? moment.

        Where's the "About as plausible as Christianity." option?

            Anyone who thinks that is stupid!

            It serves a purpose.

                Yeah admittedly that was a slack option ....

                  Gives a great many poor people in the world a belief that something better exists in the afterlife. Armed with that knowledge, it stops them kicking off at the injustices of this life, and making life tricky for the ruling elite? Maybe?

                    A sense of belonging to a community?

                    To be honest, I don't go to church and am pretty agnostic about the whole afterlife thing. However, if people want to go to church and be with like minded people, perform charitable works and all of the other stuff that goes along with it then more power to them.

                    I've read some of the Scientology stuff, it's based on the musings of a man. In that respect it could be said to mirror Christianity quite closely.

                      The problem starts when "The musings of a man" become a method of control and oppression by those with a vested interest.
