Yorick, how was the sig in question any different from this quote? Marx is considdered one of the great modern day philosophers on social theory. Marx was very derissive of religion, but recognized that it is a very useful tool for controling the hearts and minds of sheeple.

I agree in a certain sense with Karl Marx.
Opiate:
1 : a preparation or derivative of opium; broadly : a narcotic or opioid peptide
2 :
something that induces rest or inaction or quiets uneasiness
My faith gives me inner peace and rest. Note MY faith. It is not mind control. My faith is an individual decision. It has nothing to do with controlling sheep, and everything to do with empowerment and and independent relationship with my God.
