Hasa Diga Eebowai

I went to see "The Book of Mormon" on Broadway last night and my favorite number had to be "Hasa Diga Eebowai." I'll leave it to the reader to find out the translation.

The play had kind of an interesting approach to the topic of religion. While making it clear that blind faith and accepting things that don't make any sense amount to intellectual suicide, the play also acknowledges that religion can often provide solice and guidance when life throws bad things your way. Something that it will do sooner or later.

I guess it's the old question of do you prefer a harsh and depressing reality or would you prefer a comforting lie. I'd rather have the reality, regardless of how harsh, then fool myself.
