Why
I Agree with Karl Marx, that Religion is an Opium to the Selfish Mind
Religion
is an opium to the Unkind and Selfish Mind.
It
is a deep philosophical argument he portrayed even though social and
communist countries adapted it to politics in the wrong context to
control secular societies.
Religion
is not based on scientific methodology but on dogmatic statement of a
not so charismatic individual and stupid people follow the so called
enlightened guy who is in one sense gone bonkers in thinking
capacity.
Once a dogma is incarcerated in the mind the guy or girl becomes paranoid and sick and there is no treatment for it except for strict incarceration.
What
Karl Marx reiterated was that this illness has no treatment or ready
made remedy.
That
is the philosophical content for shich we must thank, the British for
giving him the refuge in UK when he was vilified by the Church in
Germany.
It was not Russia or China but British who saved the “Freedom of Speech”.
Mind
you Sir Bertram Russel had to hide in China from the Church for
writing a book “Why I am not a Christian?”.
No
religion new or old can escape from the root dogma which is fallible
by scientific examination.
What
is written in books is not sacred or sacrosanct.
They
have to be examined with open mind and be subjected to strict scrutiny.
This is why I say we are still Level Zero Civilization.
Most of the alien civilizations (who have visited us after atomic bomb explosion in nineteen forties) are level one or above level one civilizations and they live in amity and there is total abolition of war mongering.
It
will take another 100 years for us to reach level one civilization
but long before that we will be extinct due to mass extinction or
another bomb which is more lethal than atomic.
This
is where the American (Church logic) logic that alien visitation
should be hidden under the cover of Conspiracy Theory from the
average masses perception is more dangerous than religion by itself.
It
breeds grounds for mass paranoia and phobia.
The CIA plan was to make the entire world Christian, whereas the Muslim fanaticism is to make the entire world Muslim.
They are at loggerhead for ages and communist and socialist worlds should be in the forefront to diffuse this animosity.

We
need not fear aliens but paranoid youth who are brought up without
knowledge, understanding, responsibility or brotherhood or mutual
human benefit.
That is the root of the problem.
Dogmatism has no currency in this century.
