It means just what it says, the morality etc taught be religion keeps the poor in control, as it were. "opiate of the masses" if you will. That and professional sports and TV.

ETA: It is kinda libtard-esque, but it's pretty straightforward.

Anthropologically speaking, this is what sets "civilization" apart from savagery.  Whoever made or wears the bumper sticker sure is off their rocker.

Oh wait... people are going to have to die, it's for the common good.  *shudder*

So do you guys believe that morality can exist without religion or a belief in a higher power?

If so, how does it compare to a moral value system that is based on religion?

Without a doubt.  I'm living and walking proof of it.

If there wasnt morales without religion, lots of people would be dead right now.  Course that's more the law I'd have to deal with...eh...

Heck, the guy that put it on his bumper in the first place probably cannot tell you what it means,  it just sounds catchy.

seconded.


lots of kids around here are still wearing the che  Guevara <sp?> shirts.   ask any of em who the guy printed on thier shirt is, and all theyll do is look at you funny.  that bumper sticker may be more of the same.
