“Religion is nothing if it is not everything”.<\/p>\n
Madam de Stael<\/p>\n
“Man created God in his own image and then treated himself<\/p>\n
as dependent on his own creation”.<\/p>\n
Feuerbach<\/p>\n
“Those that say that religion has nothing to do with politics<\/p>\n
do not know what religion means”.<\/p>\n
Gandhi<\/p>\n
“Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a<\/p>\n
heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions.<\/p>\n
It is the opium of the people”.<\/p>\n
Karl Marx<\/p>\n
I beg to differ with Marx on his last point. I believe that religion<\/p>\n
is not the “opium” of the people but rather the “meth”,<\/p>\n
would that I could only say “myth”, of the people.<\/p>\n

PS. The above was previously published in a blog that died<\/p>\n
aborning. My fault I’m sure, but I like to say “live and learn<\/p>\n
if you live”. Anyway I’d like to say I’m here thanks\u00a0 to two<\/p>\n
young men and one young woman at Web Hosting Hub,<\/p>\n
a mysterious entity called WordPress, and I think some<\/p>\n
outfit out of Australia of all places. thank you all indeed.<\/p>\n
