Opiate of the Masses
Was Marx right? Is religion really the opiate of the masses? MC Wright, who wrote this article, seems to think so:
It seems that many modern day churches are really modern day opium dens, lulling people into a predictable pattern of passionless living, centered more on what God can give you rather than what God created me for. Churches should be hot beds of cosmic activity as the divine drama is played out in millions of one act human stories that radically effect the people they come in contact with along the journey.
