The Community of Neo-Commune | My paradox is that I'm strongly angainst religion BUT also a strong advocate for freedom of thought. | |
The People's State of Jackuul | Opiate of the masses and should not be encouraged. Those who seek comfort in organized religion are easily manipulated into policies that hurt them as their want of belonging is used against them and to control them. Authority over them is used to suppress the people from seeking to change or challenge the conditions they are in, and insofar as that, is used by the bourgeoisie as a means of control. Capital always protects itself, and what better tool than to manipulate people seeking comfort? To co-opt religion as a cover, as a tool, and as an enforcer of their capital protecting policies is all within their scope. In my years on this earth I have only ever seen organized religions impose restrictions on their "flocks" for who they love, how they love, where they love, what they think, how they think, who they 'should' be, and much much more. Manipulation of the working class at its near-worst. Overall I view it as one of the worst institutions, and overall harmful for the human species. |
