The Padded Cell

So I'm watching Scrubs, a comedy show about doctors on Comedy Central. And the real asshole doctor is giving the old black nurse shit about believing in god and her "everything happens for a reason" bullshit. And of course she gets the last laugh. Her explanation for believing in god, after seeing children die and bad things happening to good people, is that if she didn't believe there was a reason for it, she wouldn't be able to cope with life.

So, the moral of the story is, religious people can't deal with reality. I realize it was a comedy show, but it's a theme that's been repeated on so many shows it's not even funny.

That's why some people believe, others are just stupid. And yet others pretend to believe in order to scam true believers.
