It was me - I had the the temerity to paraphrase Marx as "Religion is the opium of the people."Hermit wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 12:24 amI have never quoted Marx in this thread.superuniverse wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 5:17 pmAs for the Marx quote you misquoted:

Re: Scientific Proof Of God
Well, "Religion is the opium of the people." is close enough to "It is the opium of the people." anyway, for "It" manifestly stands for "Religion". By pointing out a distinction without a difference Dennis Markuze tries to make himself appear erudite, but only succeeds in revealing that he possesses a pedantic streak.JimC wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 2:25 amIt was me - I had the the temerity to paraphrase Marx as "Religion is the opium of the people."Hermit wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 12:24 amI have never quoted Marx in this thread.superuniverse wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 5:17 pmAs for the Marx quote you misquoted:

I have been known to pull you up on a number of occasions when you misquote the culture - Luger thing, but at least I was never serious about it. Dennis has yet to indicate that he has a trace of humour.

If you make a statement that to an impartial observer is clearly wrong, but that you whole-heartedly believe is correct, is that lying?
