The logic of religious faith

The logic of religious faith


What would be the logic of religious faith in a version customized by religious doctrines and the liturgy of religious ceremonies in remaining with a submissive and helpful behavior, almost a slave to a God who needs to provide protection 24 hours and 365.25 days a year because this fragile Being unable to protect yourself from anything, from any evil, who needs a lot of luck to survive, if you have a lot of grace from God to be able to have a chance to prosper materially with your assets and still be protected and shielded from diseases?

None of this is confirmed beyond chapter 28 of the book of Deuteronomy where promises and a loyalty contract with treats and curses are made exclusively for the chosen people, the curses all described took place during the Nazi holocaust, item by item of Deut.28 . Which gives the curse fulfilled.

Because God would create an extraordinary brain, capable of making inferences, observations, speculations, creations, deductions, confabulations, inventions, investigations, extrapolations, creating mythology, inventing gods, creating religions, creating science, producing technological artifacts, changing Earth's geography, step on the moon, then this fragile being needs God's care in exchange for tearful, excited, excited, sad religious hymns, untranslatable prayers, promises of sacrifices, money?

God needs your money to make Christmas dinner, or perhaps lunch, so, did we create a God who created us to serve the creator God so that he can protect us?

Did God create such a capable and intelligent, autonomous and useless being incapable of taking care of himself without help from the Gods?

And that?
