Religions - Opiates for the masses?!

Who does want to go to a better place after death?

Or seek a meaning for their pathetic existence in life when they realise all that glitters is not gold?

Believers of religions are comparable to school boys showing off who can pee the further given a finite amount of time. They then attribute their success to their divine deities and berate the others as demons.

This is the same in politics, victors write history, in religion, winners become deities and losers, the demons.

In their own breath, each claim to speak of universal love, but wish the hell fire for infidels. In peasantpore, we have baboon pastors and radicals e.g Thio, Yang and Hong who will not rest till they condemn all bapoks to Nazi-like camps. We have Mas who thinks virgins are waiting for him in paradise if he could kill women and children. All above are prime examples of baboons who believed in their warped sense of existence and eternal torment for their detractors, wonder what their founders would say to them if they are all alive.

One thing we realised about religions is that all the founders are DEAD and their followers insist they are somewhere out there and in the meantime, it is better to have some insurance before it is too late.

Peter realised to supplant the roman deities, he need a lot of cunning, it took more moons before his followers finally convinced the decadent romans to take the jewish god as the centre of the universe, because much of europe stayed iliterate during the dark ages, no one said much and faith was able to slow progress before the bold souls of enlightenment realised the burden of faith. Nevertheless, many white men were fooled into the concept of god king before protestant kings uncover the rubbish only to discover that the state must be seperated from depots who overthrow one religion for another to justify their rule. Faced with stagnation at home, missionaries had no choice but to venture far east and americas to colonize new souls. the catholic and protestants did so much damage that they wipe out the native americans in the name their deity and profit. The east was the last hope and they found great success because asians are by nature indolent and receptive to god kings due to kowtowing for many years.

Among the chinks, the easiest converts came, eager to adopt jewish names because of a weird logic, their new found religion is good because it has lots of $$$ and cool factor, sorry, paradise assured too.

the moslems are an interesting distraction in the middle east, Mohammad realised he need a doctrine quick to unify his people, the fastest way was to combine the torah and x'tian books to form a new fellowship to unite his people. despite the questionable methods employed, he had the decency to ensure the best of the greek ideas, mathematics and science deserved a place to 'glorify' his deity and the world surely own a debt to them when the europeans persisted with their cultural revolution during the dark age. despite the moslem golden age, it was destined to fail because sequent baboons suddenly rediscover faith and use the 'holier than thou' to purge their enemies, fatwas kill faster than swords or bombs as osama e bin laokao discovered, to the grief of the world.

Chow Chu Meng is another local unique example, worshiping tons of deities for fame and wealth. He turns bitter when he realised all the wealth in the world could not insure him from disease and waste. Missionaries zoomed onto him and Chow claimed he finally found solace in his x'tian pals who advise him to face the inevitable end despite medical science already assured the pointless struggle. As an entertainer, he puts up a good show for his new found friends who turned him into a freak show of some misguided peasant who found peace AFTER faith change?! I certainly hope Messr Chow could do more good deeds before the inevitable end than whitewash his greedy ways to some quack that he meet because as Spiderman says in his third sequel, 'we have choices', well spiderman smart as he is, did not claimed all will make the correct choices.

Religion is certainly an opiate, with all assurances that 10% of your pay could secure a place in paradise while others gnash their teeth in hades.

Virgins waiting for you in paradise.

That birthmark rather than deed is paramount.

All forget given enough time, everyone will realise nothing endures and change is only assured, with or without time.

So Happy New Year Peasants because the real new year, depending on which calendar or reference point began on 4th Feb 2010.

Yes.

And it is also occupies a place in their lives where they can find solace, hope, and peace. Churches, temples, mosques, etc. also allow people to seek fellowship and provide the organization to facilitate schools, orphanages, rehabilitation, medical and other centres of learning/commmunity services. Weighing the abuses by some members againsts the positive things these have brought to society, the good is winning.

Cheers!
