Religion as Social Liability

"..religion is the politics of the mentally deficient.."

The recent religious furore over certain (cartoon) publications in the secular press unambiguously identifies ‘religion’ as little more than cheap politics; or put in simpler more accurate terms; religion is the politics of the mentally deficient. Consider the possibility of an infinite creator/God and the arrogance of those who actually think or imagine they or any other finite being could possibly pollute, insult or deface that God. A characteristic of Godhead is IMMUTABILITY! Rationalists would refer to the basic logic of the inability of the finite to apprehend the infinite (God); the two states are mutually exclusive. But it is obvious that ‘God’ is as far removed from the present issue as day is from night.

Opus Dei are raging at the insults levelled towards their faith and their Saviour in the film The Da Vinci Code. Will there be marchs? Will cinemas be burned? Will elements of the Left come out in support of Opus Dei? If not, why not? How is their case any different from that of the Islamic Fundamentalist rage over the Danish cartoons.

"Group urges Da Vinci film changes

Catholic group Opus Dei wants "references that hurt Catholics" to be removed from the film version of Dan Brown's hit novel The Da Vinci Code. The Da Vinci Code offers a deformed image of the Catholic Church," Opus Dei said in a statement released in Rome. "

Yep, it would be nice to see priory of Sion and other groups come out of the shadows tell us all about thier millenial battles for truth, the roles they played in the inquisition, the reformation, the holocaust, the spanish civil war and so on, wouldn't it?
Maybe they could get together pulp fiction books and a movie?

Meanwhile I live in hope that in africa and mid asia, the same process will occur, and "the auld enemy" is taken on _from within_. Opus Dei are a non-democratic, secist, authoritarian and fascist organisation. Mock them PatC. they're all yours. ;-)

and happy birthday to galileo! yes today is his birthday.

opus dei are a sinister bunch. wiill i be hunted by secret operatives if i reveal their secrets and scandals? they recruit catholic intellectuals and place them in positions of power. how far does this web extend?

they're not all that bad though. they only whipnchain themselves and its not a spectator sport so accusations of sm are out of order.

Their founder was Josemaria Escriva.

"Escriva Quote of the day:
Wladimir Felzmann, an ex-opus dei member tells about a talk with Escriva: after he (Escriva) insisted that with Hitler'shelp the Franco government has saved Christianity from the communism he added: ``Hitleragainst the Jews, Hitler against the Slavs, this means Hit ler against communism'' "
