11. It's Less Ridiculous Than Many Hats Mandated By Many Other Religions

You think it was any less ridiculous when someone first approached the Pope and said, "Holy Father, I think you should start wearing this pointed hat that makes you look like a giant upside-down post-hole digger,"? But do something ridiculous for 2,000 years and people will just accept it.

Religion in general has a lot of dogged adherence to silly and meaningless ritual. It was one of Martin Luther's main criticisms.
