Karl Marx said that.

Although the common thought process considers falsehood and belief systems as sanitary factors as if everyone is entitled to their opinion &#8211; I do not concur.<\/p>\n<p>The main issue with religion and how people pander to it is that it promotes and fosters stupidity.  I like to call a spade a spade. I think that calling things by their name is exactly what this world needs in order to eliminate the &#8220;stickiness&#8221; of many religions that rely on a lack of understanding for their own standing. Thus resulting in the continued obeisance of the &#8220;faithful&#8221; and the continuous counteraction of the disillusioned, disenfranchised, and disappointed masses now ranking as an exodus from faith in the world and questioning if there is really even a God or not.<\/p>\n<p>As a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ I prefer that all religion be questioned &#8211; even my own as I myself have and will always do and espouse in my daily debates with atheists and theists of all stripes. As I do in my book: <a href=\"https:\/\/classiphorium.com\/listings\/church\/salvation-check-up-belief-enough-e-vid-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Salvation Check-Up: Your Belief Is Not Enough!&#8221;<\/a>, I show how truth is the utmost pursuit that any sincere &#8220;religious&#8221; person must embark on and check their &#8220;faith&#8221; against.  By using the Creator&#8217;s own words and demonstrated &#8220;statutes and precepts&#8221; in the heavens and the earth (science), the truest of scriptural interpretation and understanding will be gained and happily, the destruction of ignorance-based &#8220;abusive&#8221; religions will begin as they fade into their rightful oblivion.<\/p>\n<p>But also, another good will soon become evident: that atheists and the formerly religiously abused, will begin to think rightly about the truths inherent in a nature that ultimately was fashioned by a creator &#8211; even if they still deny that there is evidence for one.<\/p>\n<p>At least, we would purify the faithful having made clear the line between the faithful and the faithless.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>For my religious teaching and views, follow me on Twitter at: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ArithmetaiU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our church, ministerial opportunities and our various ministries can be found at: <a href=\"https:\/\/tspci.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TSPCI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Study The Word of God &amp; Fulfill God&#8217;s Will For Your Life: <a href=\"https:\/\/arithmetaiuniversity.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ARITHMETAI UNIVERSITY &#8211; a ministry of TSPCI.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Did you know that the Sabbath has been wrongly taught and observed for all these centuries?
