Does that make fundamentalism equal crack?

If Religion is the Opium of the Masses....
Raysia has O.D.'d.

If religion is the opiate of the masses then Nietzsche must have lived a sheltered life.

I think these days opium is the opium of the people.

if religion is the opiate of the masses....

then i am a hopless dope fiend

Does that make fundamentalism equal crack?

No, it makes fundamentalism dangerous drug abuse. Christianity is the crack.

I am a non-drug-user.

If religion of the everyday variety is opium, I think it follows that insanely strong heroin is fundamentalism. I dunno, it seems like a better analogy than crack (which is not an opiate at all).

If religion is opium, then I've been sober for 6 years. We should start an OTMA (opiate of the masses anonymous!)

If religion is opium to the masses, will liberals try to get it legalised?

If religion is opium of the masses, then will opium become the religion of the masses?

HEY! THAT WORKS! :shock:

If religion is opium to the masses, T.V. is the marijauna

If religion is opium, then I've been sober for 6 years. We should start an OTMA (opiate of the masses anonymous!)I went for crack because it's the cheap drug, and the fundamentalists I grew up around--and was for a significant part of my life--were always poor.

Funny, to me, it seems like Religion is the AA of the masses :P

you boys need to take a moment and define your terms. Like real world.

real world: Here and now, survival, fun, eat, drink, be merry.
real world: trhis life is a probationary state. This short little life we have can and will determine our eternal status.

nope. we're talking about what we can see and touch and generally experience NOW, not in some possible afterlife

I didn't miss anything. I chose to interpret it differently :P

Anyway, religion seems like it is an addiction to me. (By the way, I don't do drugs or drink very often or anything, so I'm not hyprocritical)

If religion is opium of the masses, then will opium become the religion of the masses?

HEY! THAT WORKS! :shock:

Hey, yeah.

*Steals quote* :lol:

I don't think religion is the opium of the masses. I've never seen an angry pot smoker. Angry religous people I've seen heaps of. But then again pot is a depressant. Religion (especially Catholicism) is pretty depressing.

Opium is not pot.

Opium brings us such wonderful things as heroin and hash.

The original quote was religion is the opiate of the masses. Meaning it made them slow witted and addicted.
