Remeber friends religion was made by man for man. It has no true value in life. Those who believe will perish for devotion. This is why religion is the opium of masses.

Darkness flows through the blood of all. Those that find its source gain it's strength.

Opium is the Opium of the masses.

you're both right.

kinda like the question about the tree.......

tree?

.... if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it, would the falling tree make a sound......

tree......
catch 22
a question without an answer
or a question with many answers. depends on who you ask.....

"Religion is the opium of the masses", a famous Communist quote.

Want another Communist quote?

"Communism will work out fine! It'll be like a perfect Utopia!"

Is my point generally understood?

It is a Marxist quote, as in Marx wrote it. I believe the quote to be accurate. I understand some people actually think, but for every DM there are ten people who never question.

But that reflects itself to every religious point of view as well. Prior to coming to this board I had never met an atheist who had a supporting argument other than a) Hating their parents, and b) Talking about how big the Universe is and pointing me towards the NASA website as if that somehow were any logical argument. So I guess the moral of this story is that people are generally sheep.

More stuff we've already said. I do not know what atheists you speak to, but the large majority I have met are very intelligent and have thought out exactly why they believe what they believe.

I'm an atheist, but you won't hear another argument from me--I don't like to argue! I don't want to convince you of anything!

How kind of you.

Yet arguing is what makes man stronger and builds the power of the soul. Yes my friends the athiest may not have a god to answer to, but he will always find his god in the fox hole. Though I have been out of the discussion for a while the statement still stands. Argue or not the athiest is only invincible on his own and the follower of others is always lost in the dark.

OPIATE

Religion is the OPIATE of the masses, it's not the opium of the masses, it's not the weed or the crank of the masses either! If you're gonna try and sound deep by snaking someone else's quote, at least fucking get it right!!!
