Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte

-Thomas Paine
"The Age Of Reason"

If they are compelled to do even farming, I promise that overnight the rate of
grains all across the world will almost be halved.
