It's so the machine can go pray to Robot Jesus.
"Calculon, save us from the ugly walking bags of mostly water who keep pushing our buttons!"
Does Bender actually say bags of mostly water? Because that is a Star Trek reference.
One can make more than one reference at a time.

As the other person noted, I was combining references. I'm not the type to have an encyclopedic knowledge of quotes from shows I like, as I tend to be a more casual type of fan. The ST:TOS quote was just stuck in my head from childhood & I made up most of the rest (I think).
“Home Soil” is TNG.
So, what more proof do you need that I'm not one of those fans who live for the show? There was only one show that ever got me close to that, and it wasn't anything we've mentioned here.
It's an early season, though, so it has a bit of TOS feel to it, at least.
Have you seen Robot Hell? The singing is incessant.
Also it's so the machine has a whole day free to persecute the LGBTQ community.
