It is a tactic to make people purchase their next product sooner (after the deliberately shortened lifespan of their previous product expired). # Should planned obsolescence be **outlawed?**

Except that religion survives states and governments, not the other way around... Look at christianity, it's still there, it survived soviet union, the roman empire, the black death...

Religion revolves around something eternal, a core that can't die, obviously, unless there's nobody to remember it of course

And a religion, is not exactly the most rational thing in the world

I'm talking about institutional religion. You're talking about spiritual beliefs. 2 totally different things for free thinkers, but I guess they're the same thing for many sheep.

What do you know about death?

I know not to expect an afterlife that's strictly defined by any arbitrary rules imagined by men. Death is the border of the jurisdiction of Might-Makes-Right.
