Some Thought for the Mind

[The Man in Black]

I just stumbled across my definition of religion in the most ironic of places. Through reading the book Witness a popular anti-communist (and largely bigoted book which was a leading force of the "Red Scare" in the 1950s), I came across this quote: "By ex-Communists I do not mean those who break with Communism over differences of strategy and tactics (like Trotsky) or organization (like Tito). Those are merely quarrels over a road map by people all of whom are in a hurry to get to the same place."

So here I assert my personal definition of religion: "Mere quarrels over a road map by people all of whom are in a hurry to get to the same place."
