Marx: "Religion is the opium of the people" is one of the most frequently paraphrased statements of German philosopher and economist Karl Marx. It was translated from the German original, "Die Religion ... ist das Opium des Volkes" and is often rendered as "religion... is the opiate of the masses."
The quotation originates from the introduction of his work A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, published posthumously. The introduction (written in 1843) was published in 1844 in Marx's own journal Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher, a collaboration with Arnold Ruge.
The full quote from Karl Marx translates as: "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people". Often quoted, the interpretation of the metaphor in its context has received much less attention.[1] Some other people used similar phrases
There, did it twice and for TRH, yes we know Marx was "ein juden"

God's probably throwing up somewhere after watching the video of those two clowns, using his name to justify why they think they need to have their own private jets...

Jim and Tammy Faye Baker used to live in the tourist town of Gatlinburg TN. They would sell tee shirts that had a face print of gawdy make-up on it that read, I ran into Tammy Faye in Gatlinburg TN.
They ran the PTL (Praise The Lord) club,... it was later known as the PTL (Pass The Ludes, as in qualudes)club.

interesting - that quote if often associated with Nietzsche
have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
I thought so as well, but doing some research on "Das Kapital" reminded me, so I "googled" it...

The entire quote changes completely the meaning most often associated with the paraphrase, does it not?

Not from what I remember, it was another form of Baptist-charlatan type.

Many/most Tv evangelists have used some type of 'prayer object' gimmic in their broadcasts at one time or another.
Robert Tilton was the absolute biggest looney-bird charlatan I can recall ever seeing.
