Last night I shot an animist in my pajamas, "Religion has always been more important to the underclass than to the ruling class. The ruling class must APPEAR to embrace it to legitimize it, but never do really at a personal level unless it is to dominate." There is some truth to what you are saying but it has little or nothing to say about the truthfulness of the Claims of Christ. Have you been reading Das Capital and such? Marx could have written that statement. Hitherto, every form of society has been based, as we have already seen, on the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes. But in order to oppress a class, certain conditions must be assured to it under which it can, at least, continue its slavish existence. csf.colorado.edu What he was doing there I'll never know ;) Greg
