"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." said Karl Marx, it is opium of people.
i know that now all of you will misinterpret the view because you never care about analyzing a context within which a thinker thinks simply because there is what we call influence, but back then religion was mean for enslave and source of suffering and at the same time the only means for getting out of suffering because a simple peasant had to serve a feudalist for a piece of heaven or pay the beast for a hut in heaven, pathetic yet real .....
numbed senses by many things like religion but if a mind operates properly for a secong we will find out it's all about fear ...... sometimes they replace religion with hope and sweet words said by others with this deluding smile ..... the sacred serenity has been the lost home for every oppressed.
losing a certain meaning or something to fight for made religion and god the only issues that seem to be of no price because people didn't even give a damn about setting values for them so they were the easiest to be achieved by endurance which will help them bearing with what they fear ....
what cought my attention for the second time and was also mentioned in the blog is i've never seen a war set upon an atheistic religion, besides, those who fight for freedom of choice and practices of religion are all atheists, also tribal attitudes are set based upon misinterpretation of religion.
i think a divine being has never been that shallow the way they treat him because he knows perception is the primary axis, and i mean it, my perception about God is what makes me see God, and we all imagine him as the human being, who can grin, smile, laugh, or do whatever a human can do, which is not true, because you can't imagine anything unless it's carved in your subconcious mind and form images by assembling pieces like a jigsaw, so no one can treat the divine being as one like that .....
religion can be opium for the oppressed and also be a muder decision by manipulator, and hope can be opium or eternal slumber, we just need to break this solidity ...... so we just dragged the divinie to the undivine and went against it, then decided to sleep in oppression or manipulate the oppressed ...... pathetic

I like these words by Marx so much
althoug I have diffenrent interpretation for them
beghad l nazar isa kan sa7 aw ghalat aw fi god aw mafeesh
l religion da human need
Religion is a need for a person to feel safe &rewarded & to somehow fear from doing mistakes
we kol wa7ed 3la ad his understanding w his mind bya5od l din 3la l m7ma eli howa 3yzo
zat's why some of the religious pple are brutal and aggressive others are not
it's not the religion it's the person who's committed to this religion, w kol wa7ed beyfasar 3la 7assab sha5seyeto
About athiests we defa3hom 3n l 7oreyaat
well mainly they chose athiesm coz they were tired from the wars and conflicts that were made coz of religion + other reasons which are sometimes reasonable
so mainly the religion is an Opium , a cause to live and die , be good and bad for
Only wise pple take it as a life style moderation and a call to treat pple in a good way
w zy mabey2ooloo l din mo3amla Rabena 3amalo 3shaan l nas tela2i mare3 te3aml b3d kwayes bsababo " I mean here l nass eli 3yzeen other cause gheir l damir 3shan y3amlo l nas kwayyes"
I like the divine part
u knw moshkeletna ka bashar we cant blv wat's beyond our senses 3shaan kda we humanise any God we blv in
asfa 3l tatweel
exactly, moshekeltan en fe3lan what eyes see mind believes and senses are sooo deluding aslan 3alashan keda i called my blog senses tied
u said it all in one line ron
"do we believe to set ourselves free of thinking or... disbelieve to set ourselves free of belief??? "
Actually its the "opiate" not "opium"; meant to subdue and drug. Nice post though.
