    Please.

    Farve ended up being a steaming pile of shit.

    Let Rodgers be an ok dude.

    This claim keeps him an ok dude.

    Please keep it there.

      I’m sorry to hear about the coma you’ve been in for the last 8 years. Hopefully you have a quick recovery!

        I left behind sportsball well over 8 years ago…

        I won’t look it up, but I’m guessing not good things have surfaced since.

        Edit: also, referencing this guy as a QB suggests its not the guy who the QB sneak G.O.A.T. when I stopped paying attention to sportsball and the Packers where decidedly the best team in the institution.

          If you stopped following sports 8 (fucking 8!) years ago, why the fuck are you here making hopeful comments about Rodgers?

    So… in reading the article, it seems he suggest the government is using religion to manipulate people into forgetting about all the aliens they’re hiding.

    So, not so much with the sanity.

    IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE! That’s all it has ever been. It’s used to hold power over people by preying on their fear of the unknown.

      Yes. It’s used by the rich to make people into stooges to do their bidding.

      Naw, not only manipulation. It’s also poor man’s philosophy. Humans like to have an answer for the big questions wether they know wtf they’re saying or not. I think something like religion is inevitable with the absence of explanations.

      “Freezing”? This take is so cold that upon uttering it hydrogen condenses into a 0-viscosity liquid.

    Religion is the opium for the masses. Nothing new here, really.

          Opiates include artificially lab-constructed products that are based off of the opium that comes from poppies.

              Yeah. Pretty much. The original quote by Marx would’ve been in German I assume - which might make a difference. Looking at the US’s painkiller problems “opiate” is possibly more relevant. It’s a negligible difference either way. (Unless a linguist knows better)

                I suspect back then, when original quote was created, most, if not all, opium accessible to the public was natural and not a synthetic opiate. To translate it to opiate is likely incorrect then. That’s why I was a bit confused by correction “opiate”.

                  Historically speaking I imagine that’s true. I’m not sure why anyone felt the need to “correct” the word in the first place. Especially if it transpires they did so incorrectly…
