In an opinion article in the mlive blog:
JACKSON — “A true opium of the people is a belief that nothingness after death — the huge solace of thinking that for our betrayals, greed, cowardice, murders, we are not going to be judged.”
Czeslaw Milosz said that when accepting the 1980 Nobel Prize in literature. Based on this, it appears Karl Marx and the Marxist doctrine needs to be revised. It is not religion that is the opiate of the people, but atheism that is the opiate of the morally corrupt.
If you want to live a degenerate life, God becomes your mortal enemy. He represents a lethal danger to your greed, selfishness and sexual immorality. It is in your interest to despise Him and do whatever you can to rid the universe of His presence. The atheist sees it is advantageous to get rid of moral judgment by getting rid of the judge.
The classical author Dostoyevsky said, “Anything is permissible if there is no God.” We are born intuitively knowing there is a God as well as right and wrong. The atheist must lie to himself that there is no God until he believes his own lie.

I encourage my readers to comment on this stupidity on the mlive site.

The stupidity lies with atheists who assert godlessness as dogma and cannot see the dishonesty of their own faith-based assumptions. Learn to argue fairly and you might be taken a bit more seriously.

Atheism is based on the man made religion of Darwinism, which is only a speculative view, therefore requires more faith for an atheist to believe, since faith is “belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence”
Atheism is the religion atheists practice, science is the god they worship, Darwin, Dorkking or Dawkins are their high priests, and the devil is their Father, Lord, and Master.
