Sorry...
Correction: Marx said religion is the opiate of the masses, not
Freud. I think. Anyway, it doesn't matter who said it...
scott continues:
Basically, I think Jesus would be apolitical. Work on oneself, and
help your neighbor (who is anyone you run across that needs help),
rather than try to fix things through politics, as in "And why
beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest
not the beam that is in thine own eye?" (Luke 6:41)
msh says:
The idea expressed here is precisely what Freud meant when he said
religion is the opiate of the masses. Don't try to fix things
through politics; the people who are running things know best: let
them handle it. If they are wrong they will burn in hell, but you'll
be happy in heaven... Scott, I'm gonna be depressed for the rest of
the evening... say it ain't so.... :-(
