Yeah, I guess we weren't explaining *why* religion works. People were stating that religion works because children listen to their parents, not that parents are always right.

I'm sure the people who are sceptical of their parent's scientology teachings will.... whatever that religion has as a negative (unsolved problems in past lives to milk you of your money), and the muslim extremist children will go to hell for not being sceptical about blowing themselves up for virgins. Not all parents can be right about everything. If parents were right about everything they wouldn't tell us about Santa and the easter Bunny.

But yeah, you're analogy is perfect! The fact that you have a little lickey smiley face in regards to your belief that your fellow man will be tortured in hell simply for a deity choice is no reason for concern, hey, but at least you think you're "right".
