Quantifying religion

Merry Christmas people. The world over people are celebrating the birth of the Messiah, the deliverer of justice, the One whose was born to save mankind and purged the race of all their sins, for a future that is free..or is it?

How does the famous saying go? 'As you sow so shall you reap'. Really? So there's Newton's 3rd law stated all over again right? To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So what we get is a function of one variable (for the mathematically inclined rewards=F(actions) ). Now if that were the case, then we are fully capable beings capable of determining our destiny. Then where does God fit in?

Here enters the second variable, uncertainty. Now how often are we worried about what might happen though we have planned for everything. So is God an insurance against what might happen? Consider another scenario- we are about to give an exam and think - God help me come max the paper- so here God is an enabler. Again the element of uncertainty and that is where God comes in- where control ends religion begins.

When a child takes birth it starts crying. Does it have any past action? Well it must if the first law were to hold- so it must be crying because it had done something previously, so what we reap is what we have sown and will sow. Enter the third variable Time. Again for the mathematically inclined Rewards= F(Actions, Uncertainty, Time). 

Having successfully quantified religion we see that God's role begins where our control ends. And he plays two roles- insurer and enabler.  Now that I have successfully wasted your time with your consent (who has time to go through such a boring post on Christmas unless you have nothing better to do, apart from the one who composed it of course), why dont we use the next twenty minutes to breathe some joy into our un-happening lives? How? You and I wouldnt be here if we knew. What I can suggest though is a small change in perspective :)
