On religion and glue

Why is it that the only thing that superglue will stick together effectively is your fingers?
And while we’re on the subject of religion…
I have the potential to be very devout. In fact, I have professed to be a devout atheist, which is true, but which also leaves a kind of void, a feeling of being left out. I envy people who have something that provides them with some kind of crutch in times of difficulty, but I just can’t bring myself to believe the fairy stories that go with them. I need something more tangible - something I can hang my metaphorical hat on. I’ve considered Buddhism, and it is indeed quite attractive, given that it doesn’t actually have a god as such, but it does seem like quite hard work. Anyone who knows me will realise in an instant that this is not my thing.
But there is hope.
I have happened upon (thanks to Volkswagen ads in the cinema) the religion of Dudeism - The Church Of The Latter Day Dude. It pushes all the right buttons, and I could literally hang my hat - metaphorical or otherwise - on it.
I’m not sure that I want to become fully ordained - I’d be quite happy to remain a layman.
Now, let us pray.
