@Lapochka You forgot to cite your source "Karl Marx".

@hippyjoe1955 You mean John Cleese

@Lapochka This is crowd control to Major Tom....

@hippyjoe1955 Actually I heard it from an SW user.

@Lapochka Who paraphrased Karl Marx.

@hippyjoe1955
Marx said:

[quote]Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.[/quote]

Cleese said:

[quote]So how can you have an egotistical organization trying to teach a non-egotistical ideal? It makes no sense, unless you regard religion as crowd control. What I think most organized religion—simply crowd control.[/quote]

@hippyjoe1955 He’s not a fictional character at least.

@Lapochka How do you know? Did you meet him? Did he actually write what is attributed to him? Can you prove it?

@hippyjoe1955 It's right here Joe:

In a book called: "The Gospel According to John Cleese: Quotes from the Comic Messiah" - written by Simon Paige. Published in 2014.

@Kwek00 Yawn. And Cleese took his inspiration from.....

@hippyjoe1955 Seriously Joe, do you have one publication from Karl Marx where he says religion is crowd control?

@Lapochka Crowd control or mind control,?

@hippyjoe1955 Cleese was taking the piss out of it.. he sure as hell didn't take his inspiration from anything other than his wit.
