Religion Has Done More Bad Than Good

I had this crew once of Hondurans. We were working on an out of town project and I got two connecting rooms for them all, one with a kitchenette.
A week later I'm up there during the day out on the job and one guy pulls out some tin foil from his pocket and offers me some fish. His name was Jesus. I'm always polite so I say thanks and take a TINY piece. It was very good, and I asked him if he made it last night. Oh no, last week! Then I find out they just leave the cooked fish out! No refrigeration for their stomachs!

I didn't get sick, but that was the last fish I accepted from Jesus.

"During the Russian Revolution, much like the French Revolution, the churches and clergy sided with the Czars of Russia. This is because there was an established relationship between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Czars, much like there was a relationship between the Catholic Church and the French Crown prior to the French Revolution. Because of this, the church was opposing the revolution and working against the peasants and oppressed masses in their struggle to better their own condition.


Out of this grew a backlash against religious leaders during the revolution. However, once Stalin came to power and had stabilized the country he began to promote the growth of the Russian Orthodox Church, but he opposed all other forms of religion and only allowed existence of the Russian Orthodox Church to support Russian nationalism."

Sound familiar to those who spend their endless days trying to discredit religion? lol

Here's John Lennon's answer to your communist dreams:

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
