Karl Marx was right when he asserted that "Religion is the opium of the people" . The world will surely be far more better than it's without religion - we all have the Cosmic Host living in us and through us He manifests Himself ,therefore there's no need for religion of any facets . I thought that religious folks do propagate that " prayer solves all problems " , so why this continuous plea to the government to proscribe the conduct of elections on Saturdays , instead of using prayer to stop them from doing so. Does it mean that prayers doesn't work anymore ? 4 Likes |

The appeal is otiose and non sequitur. Sabbath is made for man and not man for the sabbath. Can't they dispense themselves just for that period the election will be on for the general good of all? |

Do the Adventists now want to serve two masters? Voting is an option and not a must...the church should focus on what it supposed to be doing and stop meddling with politics. |
