What was the impact of the quote religion is the 'opiate of the people'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The quote "religion is the opiate of the people" was coined by Karl Marx to imply that religion can act as a tool for social control and distraction from societal issues. It suggests that religious beliefs can be used to pacify or sedate the masses, preventing them from questioning their circumstances or striving for social change. This quote has been interpreted to critique the role of religion in maintaining the status quo and reinforcing existing power structures.

Is Nibiru a myth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, Nibiru is a myth. Supporters of the Nibiru cataclysm cult and its variations often claim that the scientific community's denial of its existence is some sort of cover up. However, there is no evidence of Nibiru's existence beyond the word of a possibly mentally imbalanced "psychic" named Nancy Lieder, who claimed that Nibiru was going to crash into Earth in May 2003. She also suggested that people put down and eat their pets. When Nibiru failed to crash into Earth, or appear at all, she withdrew her claim, and said that she made it in the first place to throw off the government. Her reasoning is that if the world's governments were to know of the actual date of the Nibiru disaster, they would be able to enforce martial law, and would keep citizens from somehow escaping the disaster, all part of some grand conspiracy. There is no evidence of the rational mind to support such claims.

Why do Freethinkers believe that Jesus Christ never existed except as a Messianic idea or a solar deity?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Freethinkers who believe Jesus Christ never existed see the lack of contemporary historical evidence as a reason. They argue that the stories about Jesus were based on earlier myths and religions, such as those involving solar deities or messianic figures, which were then woven together to create the character of Jesus in the Bible.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A chaotic neutral atheist is someone who lacks belief in any gods or deities (atheist) and aligns with a chaotic neutral moral code.

What are the views on health care for atheist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Views on health care among atheists can vary widely, as atheism is simply a lack of belief in a god or gods and does not dictate one's political or social beliefs. However, many atheists tend to support universal access to health care, seeing it as a basic human right that should be provided by the government or society as a whole. Others may have different opinions based on their individual political, economic, or ethical perspectives.

What system of government is it atheistic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Atheism, as a belief system, does not inherently dictate a specific system of government. Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity, and individuals who identify as atheists can hold a variety of political beliefs and support different systems of government, including democratic, socialist, or authoritarian systems. Atheism itself is primarily concerned with questions of religion and does not necessarily define one's views on governance.

Why are people theists?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because they are convinced, for many reasons, that God exists.

  • Teleological Argument: The universe has definite design, order, and arrangement which cannot be sufficiently explained outside a theistic worldview. (This is how Abraham, without benefit of teachers, came to reject the chaotic world-view of idolatry and the possibility of Atheism). For example, theoretical physicist and popular science writer Paul Davies (whose early writings were not especially sympathetic to theism) states concerning the fundamental structure of the universe, "the impression of design is overwhelming" (Davies, 1988, p. 203). From the complexities of the human eye to the order and arrangement of cosmology, the voice of God is heard. God's existence is the best explanation for such design. God is the designer.
  • Anthropic Principle: The laws of the universe seem to have been set in such a way that stars, planets and life can exist. Many constants of nature appear to be finely tuned for this, and the odds against this happening by chance are astronomical. Professor Russel Stannard (a particle physicist) states: "The universe has been bent over backwards in order that intelligent life should exist...must have known we were coming."
  • The glaring lack of transitional fossils has been noted by the evolutionists themselves, such as this statement from the famous paleontologist and evolutionist George G. Simpson; quote: "The regular lack of transitional fossils is not confined to primates alone, but is an almost universal phenomenon."
    "To the unprejudiced, the fossil record of plants is in favor of special creation" (Corner, E.J.H., Contemporary Botanical Thought).
  • "Nine-tenths of the talk of evolutionists is sheer nonsense, not founded on observation and wholly unsupported by facts. This museum is full of proofs of the utter falsity of their views. In all this great museum, there is not a particle of evidence of the transmutation of species" (Dr. Etheridge, Paleontologist of the British Museum).
    "To postulate that the development and survival of the fittest is entirely a consequence of chance mutations seems to me a hypothesis based on no evidence and irreconcilable with the facts. It amazes me that this is swallowed so uncritically and readily, and for such a long time, by so many scientists without murmur of protest" (Sir Ernest Chain, Nobel Prize winner).
  • The fact that you need DNA to make DNA. No genetic code can be demonstrated to have arisen by chance, together with the ability to read that code and carry out its instructions. Information does not arise spontaneously; and there is an incredible amount of information in even the tiniest cell.
    "A living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagination and defy evolutionary explanations" (Michael Denton, author).
    "The astounding structural complexity of a cell" (U.S. National Library of Medicine).
    Concerning a single structure within a cell: "Without the motor protein, the microtubules don't slide and the cilium simply stands rigid. Without nexin, the tubules will slide against each other until they completely move past each other and the cilium disintegrates. Without the tubulin, there are no microtubules and no motion. The cilium is irreducibly complex. Like a mousetrap, it has all the properties of design and none of the properties of natural selection" (Michael Behe, prof. of biophysics).

What do atheists feel about euthanasia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I doubt that there is any correlation between these two things. Atheists, like theists and deists, are individuals with many different views about many things. They just happen not to believe in any god. They may still have views of right and wrong that are very similar to those of religious people.

In the situation where a person suffering with an incurable disease, Persons of any religion or no religion may or may not euthanasia is the more merciful alternative compared to having the person spend more time wasting away.
