I Like a Good Quote

[i]"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."[/i]

- Napoleon Bonaparte

Interesting! Never heard that. I wonder if the opposite is also true....... religion keeps the rich thinking they are favoured by god and that it gives them the right to feel themselves superior and able to exploit the poor?

@Adaydreambeliever The quote is saying a few things.... none of which sound good for the rich, the poor or religions.

@Serpico All of which are correct!
hence why I hate religion. Hail satan!

“I do not see in religion the mystery of the incarnation so much as the mystery of the social order. It introduces into the thought of heaven an idea of equalization, which saves the rich from being massacred by the poor.”

@SW-User Then that is due to social status, not religious beliefs. You're the one with flawed reasoning.
