(182 posts)Clearly you don't have a rebuttal, but people like this troll around message boards looking for atheists to rid the world of them.
He's either really stupid, or really cowardly, otherwise there would be a rebuttal.
At least I can spell feel.
First he implies that what I wrote was not my own original thinking (quote) "I would characterize this post as recycled drivel, but that would be disrespectful."
Oh well, he wouldn't want to give us an example of exactly what I was writing about, now would he? And a rebuttal. His non-rebuttal "To each according to his need." It seems all he can do is imply and misquote it's "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
Since when was Separation of Church and State, or the Establishment Clause of the Constitution one of Marx intended goals or slogans? That is what I was discussing.
Along with the fact that most theists do not have respect for other people's right not to be a theist, and one political party has been taken over by religious fundies (who don't respect anyone's rights) but they sure do want their own. Something most of us do know, but I'm the one writing about jt!
This is just another example of their inability to come up with a rebuttal; instead they criticize the opponent or cast aspersions on their character, ability or patriotism. You know, like Donald Trump calling Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders a communist and saying that Sanders supporters are troublemakers.
I said, "Religion is a tool to control the masses" I didn't say "Religion is the opium of the people", but while Marx was very critical of religion, he was also in some ways sympathetic. He never had to put up with right-wing nut fundies though.
I'm not at all sympathetic, I would say that the belief itself is a delusion. The belief that we should be waiting for a reward in another life instead of working for social justice, which might happen if the public understood it's the only life they will ever have.
