If religious people did IT work

The problem with most business operations today is the fact that most of them have adopted to being startups. With the iphone and android phones flooding the market, it takes about 3 persons, a desk and some whacky company name to start with. In retrospect, this is a good thing as it gives creative freedom for those individuals and a sense of ownership. But think about the people in the company. For starters, they are mostly geeks and nerds trying to run the company and all they know is to write lines of codes. There are a few lucky souls who get to read CEO for dummies and expect to be well versed in the subject. The main problem with such companies is the fact that they need someone to sell the brand in the market. The downside of being geeky is that you don't get to be flamboyant and that sucks when it comes to convincing people that you have the best product in the shelf. Especially if you would have to compete with 200 billion other people attempting to do the same thing. (yes i know the world population and the figure is a catastrophic value)

Here is the best solution, get a religious nut job to do business development. I drove 250 kms (one way) to a remote temple in a remote location. Here, I was subjected to listening to all the wackos selling their religious products. Being exposed to various sales pitches, I found these the least convincing of them all. But they made more sales in less than an hour then probably the best selling game of all time. I mean seriously, while chanting prayers, if someone is gonna talk about how their products will help the human body cleanse itself, my first reaction was like umm is this a temple or a telebrands channel. I was surprised to see the line formed immediately after the sales pitch. How convincing were they? Well, I seem to have gotten a deity favorite top of the shelf thread based wristband on my hand. Not like I asked for one but nonetheless, have a orange colored thread that is supposed to provide spiritual healing. This is gonna flush centuries worth medical research down the drain while protecting me from any ailment. Hence, I should not get any more hangovers.

Coming back to the topic, why should we have them take over the IT sector as business heads. Simple, they have the religions tag with them. This gives them full immunity on "do what they want and get away with it". As sad as it sounds, the people who question religion are treated as bums. Hence, we would have billions of fools supporting us while a handful of intelligent people hating us. But if I were a business person, I would take that.
