Re: Why cant we sleep for over

well here is my input:

Marx said first: "Religion is the opiate of the masses"

It seems that Maynard tried to capture this view of religeon in "sober". I would not doubt that he allowed a double entendre to become evident (sobriety, abstinance from mind altering substances as well as atheism). Religion creates a comfort, a feeling of well being in its followers, allowing for a certain disconnection from reality (somewhat like a drug). Has religion not caused the deaths of humans for thousands of years? I would think maynard despises needless killing of our species ("right in two"?). Besides, he is a wine connesour with an impressive collection (or so I have heard).

Whatever you want to think, Maynard doesnt care and neither do I, but "sober's" pertinence to religion seems most likely to me.

Whatever
