1. Religious ignorance spreads like cancer.




Marx said "Religion is the opiate of the masses"




Harry, I think I know where you're coming from.






It ain't from Marx, although I do understand that misquote in context.

Marx wrote that the real purpose of religion was to create a fantasy

world for the impoverished. The realities of life for the poor make it

extremely difficult for them to be comfortable, so religious belief

tells them they will find comfort and happiness in "the next life."

Religion sugarcoats or serves as an opiate for the poor.



I think that's what's going on in today's political arena. "Big Brother is benevolent toward you" "Big Brother will take care of you." "Big brother is owed your obedience."

Big brother is taking over God's job. In which direction are we supposed
to bow when we say our prayers? I'm guessing, toward Washington D.C.
