Nice quote!
That's why I'm a Buddhist.
Here's another from Einstein.
"It has become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity."

Like i said before, I won't get into my personal thoughts on this. Mainly because if I do, ill probably be stereotyped or folded into a specific pigeonhole.
I think religion is very powerful, it can help a man and it can also keep him stranded.
"Religion is the Opiate of the masses" Carl Marx.
Said that,
What we are seeing now, is the result of Iran's conflicts with the Lebanese. They want the whole world to prey to their god, its so creepy and can't imagine what the outcome of this would be. |

i think religion is a very necessary and important part of society.
its unfortunate that there are several that directly contradict each other and cause wars. but, at the same time, you have to commend the passion these people have for what they believe is right. in the whole scheme of things their actions may be wrong, but their intentions are noble. |
This is exactly the mentality that gets thousands of innocent people killed. |

Wow, your a ing idiot and an .
And let’s clear up some stuff here. First and foremost, it’s not truly about religion. Religion was created to control the lower class, this has been true throughout our history, which is why you see that quote from Karl Marx, etc. Now the Israel problem is a pretty complicated one now, but the basics are pretty simple to understand. Zionist Jews, which are basically the high and elite class of jews, with the help of USA, forced the Palestinians out of their land. Thus the seed for all these problems were planted. If you do some research you will find Jewish groups against Israel and who oppose them, this is bc they oppose the oppressive Zionist. Now groups like Hezbollah are simply rebel groups and are extremely reactionary. They lack intelligent leadership, but they will always exist as long as Israel exists.
Now religion is simply a tool being used to push the cause. When you tell a kid that this life is nothing compared to the next life, and if you are afraid of dieing then that means you are selfish and do no understand that the next life is better then this life, so why not kill yourself.
Then you add that to the everyday struggle of the Palestinians, parents dieing, sister, brother, being policed around by Israeli police, being told what to do, etc. So with the mentality that the next life is paradise and is better then this life mixed with the deeply rooted hatred created from oppression and violence, you get what you see today.
So with everything you have to look at it in a Marxist viewpoint. You have to dissect the classes, understand that the rulers trick the people, use tools to do it effectively, like religion, racism, sexism, etc. Where do you think those missiles come from that hit the Lebanese people? Where do you think that helicopter and that fighter jet plane come from that are used to bomb kids? Who is profiting off of this? Who is making the money? The real enemy is the bourgeoisie of the world, the rulers, and the elite.
It is a complicated subject, but the only way peace will ever come about is once the US backed Israel gov’t ceases to exist, once they surrender their land to their rightful owners, etc. But that will never happen, as long as the US gov’t and Bourgeoisie are in power. |
