Society cannot exist without inequality of fortunes and the inequality of fortunes could not subsist without religion. Whenever a half-starved person is near another who is glutted, it is impossible to reconcile the difference if there is not an authority who tells him to. -Napoleon Bonaparte, general and politician (1769-1821)

Oh goody.....so now if I find myself standing next to a fat bellied glutton munching happily away on roast carcass of fatted calf while I am starving, it will all be o.k. ...once the church steps in to tell me it's God's will that our lives are so vastly different?
