mind control

[claymore]

Religion is mind control on a grand scale, fostered by governments around the world for their own political and financial ends.In a lot of countries religion is an arm of the government. what better way to keep populations obedient,in line and paying taxes than a daily dose of indoctrination by the clergy, the mullahs, clerics, priests,evangelists etc,etc. Karl Marx said "religion is the opiate of the masses" he was dead right.min

I agree entirely with the sentiment of live and let live. But atheists struggle with that belief.

Ohh no Octavius, we REALLY don't want to get started on that =). Although it's probably not so much of an athiest view as an agnostic one? (Not that I'm making excuses for anyone...) x
