This is today’s Frazz Comic, from Jef Mallet.  I love this comic.  You can click the comic to see his website and the archives.  Its worth the visit.

I think today’s comic  has something to say about why so many people embrace religion, superstition, and illogical fallacy.  Although I doubt that is what Mallet intended, its what I took away.

We have a tendency to want an answer NOW.  We want someone to tell us what it means, why it happened, what to do.  And we don’t want to have to look too hard, think too hard or work too hard to get it.  Religions and Nonsense peddlers are there to help us with that.  They are perfectly willing to provide an answer, and since most of us would prefer not to look into it too hard, we accept their answers at face value.
