Exploiting a series of obscure antiquated strictures to convince yourself that you're going to get a big reward in the afterlife is central to all sorts of religious traditions. Its no different than chasing loopholes while filing your tax return, and then applauding yourself for winning a big rebate check.

In a world run by petty bureaucrats and dogmatic priests, why wouldn't you believe that God was the most petty and dogmatic of them all?
