Written in the winter of 2010, after the Phillies lost the World Series to the Yankees. It might still apply today. If Karl Marx wrote "Das Kapital" today I don't think he would have referred to religion as the "opiate of the people." My guess is that, he would go to one of Circle of Hope's public meetings or one of the many cells that we have in our neighborhood and be convinced that our faith is something of an amphetamine. Our religion doesn't put us to sleep and sedate us, it excites us, rejuvenates us, and gives us hope for a revolution. Maybe it's not the communist revolution, but maybe it's not too far off either. In fact, isn't it precisely loving your enemies and having everything in common really what will change the world? We hear that a lot here, and we act it out a lot, too.
