"The worst display of it are black SA Christians that would visit the 'holy' land in the so-called State of Israel when the very state subjects Palestinians to the same brutality they experienced under the SA's apartheid regime. It angers me more because I'm also a Christian."

"Its opium of the people. Religion has certain practical functions in society that are similar to the functions of opium in a sick or injured person: it reduces people's immediate suffering and provides them with pleasant illusions which gives them the strength to carry."
