If you want to learn about marketing and tourism, study the Catholic Church.
It has been said that Religion is a Marketing dream. The product is collected after death and there are no refunds. They pay for it while alive through donations to the church AND do what the church leaders tell them to do.
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?
This is just barking mad. How do educated people, in 2019, buy into this transparent f'wittery?
I will never understand it, some of the poorest, most desperate, displaced peoples of the world are the biggest believers in something that gives them nothing but misery.

I understand that. Religions take advantage of people who are vulnerable. What i dont get is why people with educations and free reasonably affluent societies buy into vatican claims of magic spirits curing diseases!

The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it.

You can believe in jesus without buying this nonsense the vatican puts out about miracles.
If you take the best option under game theory in Pascal's wager you do not even have to believe, you just reap the rewards of being part of a religious community until belief happens to you and allows you to enter heaven.

It seems to me that by this criteria our very own Ryorry should be sainted as she has performed at least two miracles if I recall correctly, bringing a sheep back from the dead and fixing her friend's knee by laying on of the hands.
