  "Religion...is the Opium of the People" - What did Marx Mean?

  by cofty in

  when read in context karl marx was not directly attacking religion when he wrote those famous words.. .

  religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress.

  religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation.

  Heh, just went to some websites on Opium

  Opium can cause euphoria, followed by a sense of well-being and a calm drowsiness or sedation. Breathing slows, potentially to the point of unconsciousness and death with large doses. Other effects can include nausea, confusion and constipation. Use of opium with other substances that depress the central nervous system, such as alcohol, antihistamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, or general anesthetics, increases the risk of life-threatening respiratory depression.

  And another site with personal experiences

  It feels very mellow and dreamlike, euphoric

  That Marx, he knew of what he spoke...........

  Right on Cofty!

  Mother Teresa was a superior biddy

  It's interesting that some can see the self serving nature of JW's in the door to door work, or the "love bombing" new ones at the KH. But they can't see the same in Mother Teresa.

  is this a racial stunt or is it a real concern for white males, who are now a minority?.

  today i received a mass-fwd email from a fellow employee (down here in baptist country) entitled the meaning of the flag-draped coffin.

  i'm pasting the intro to it below the full email can be enjoyed by clicking the link.. all americans should be given this lesson.

  those who think that america is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought.

  Flag folding and presentation

  The flag of the United States draped over the casket is meticulously folded 13 times by a total of 6 honor guards, 3 on each side of the casket. The following information describes the symbolic meaning for each fold of the flag. [5] It is important to note that the thirteenfold procedure was a common practice long before the creation of a ceremonial assignation of "meaning" to each of the steps. Such symbolism has been mistakenly attributed to have an integral part in the origins of the thirteenfold procedure. In truth, it evolved as a means of providing religious significance to the ceremony and its participants, and is often requested to be read alongside the folding of the flag at funerals. [6]
