Many people haven’t learned, society just moves from one deity du jour to the next as the centuries change. Always expecting something but never getting it. When they pray, and something positive happens, they attribute it to their deity. But when nothing happens, “god works in mysterious ways.” Yet, either way that same thing was likely to happen.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Unknown
Insanity – a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world. R. D. Laing
Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. H. P. Lovecraft
Religion is induced insanity. Madalyn Murray O’Hair
There are people who have consciously revived and practice Roman polytheistic religion, which, if you’re going to have a religion, at least sounds like a fun and creative way to have one. I’m not sure if they practice animal sacrifice, however; I think getting a permit to cut the throat of a cow during a religious ceremony would be rather hard in most places.
The reason the Roman gods lost support was because the emperors became Christian, and Christians don’t think any other religion is valid, so the ancient gods got outlawed.

How can you go home and wait, and then do it again?

Try sending thoughts and prayers instead.

With RJ’s kind of luck, a load of Twinkies and HoHos will fall from an airplane and land on Verne.
