Title: Religion is not the opiate of the people -Dr. John Henrik Clarke
Post by: Iniko Ujaama on September 13, 2012, 11:33:22 AM

"They’ve fallen into a trap set by Karl Marx ~’Religion is the opiate of the people'. Religion is not the opiate of the people; on this point Karl Marx is wrong. Religion can be made the opiate of the people. People can misuse religion to the point where it puts them to sleep. But religion is a revolutionary weapon; and until you understand that it is a revolutionary weapon you will not make the best use of it.” ~ Dr John Henrik Clarke
