Quote by Gloria Steinem
It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.
Summary
This quote critiques the concept of religious belief by suggesting that it is a deceitful tactic to convince individuals to believe in something in the present with the promise of a reward in the afterlife. The speaker argues that even in corporate settings, where reward systems exist, rewards are not promised after death. The quote implies that the idea of a posthumous reward is illogical and questions the legitimacy of religious doctrines aimed at motivating people through the promise of a future, intangible benefit.
