Subject: Religion and Opium; a survey of sorts


Dear masses,

I had once thought that religion was your opium. I have since come 
to wonder which of the two really was more addicting and/or
stupeficant, and thus that I might be well to rethink
the whole notion.

Do any of you have experiences of either or both which you
would be willing to share?

What is your favorite way of ingesting religion?  Is the
bong or the televangelist most effective?  Would you
say that the average fundamentalist is more of a helpless and
pathetic soul sucking on the lifeblood of the body politic
than the average opium user?  This is the  conclusion I am 
beginning to reach after careful study.

Perhaps you enlightened persons can suggest a few psychoactives
which would more aptly serve as metaphor in this formulation.

Oh alright, e-mail if you insist.

p.s. I am accepting no further correspondence from that
oaf Limbaugh. His letters are like a seltzer enema after 
a night of drinking Engels' awful home-made beer, 
which I only drink to humor the little ninny. I will
humor Limbaugh no longer.
