Random story? No. There was a lot of thought and agreement to the basics, and even when the basic stories diverged into new religions or ways of thinking about it, it wasn't just whim, but a mass agreement by the believers.

She's talking about all beliefs, conspiracy theories, cults, diet fads, political lies like Gish Gallops, and yes also ALL religions. It's completely random what we believe, because it all depends which belief we stumble on first in life, which becomes what we believe in, forever, without questioning. Even defending against proof, even willing to die for it. Maddie doesn't get it, and to be honest I find it strange too. I agree that seen from a political perspective the OT isn't random at all, it's perfectly tailored to keep the tribal elders in charge, and to keep the younger generation in check. Perhaps the NT was originally a revolt against that, it doesn't matter, as time passed it too became subsumed into the "Obey the hierarchy" narrative.

As a man raised Catholic, I like her outfit. God gave us sex, so I don't see an issue with a sexy nun.

You've got to want to change what you believe. Thinking is just too hard for a lot of people.

It isn't that easy, Pinky. Or, as Schopenhauer put it: "Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills."

Military jargon, S&M fashion tips, and philosophy all in one page. What more could a comic ever want?
