aphrodisiac for horror
by Zhou (Chew) Hong Jie
“Marx was wrong. Religion is not the opiate of the people. Opium suggests something soporific, numbing, dulling. Too often religion has been an aphrodisiac for horror, a Benzedrine for bestiality. At its best it has lifted spirits and raised spires. At its worst it has turned entire civilisations into cemeteries.”
- Phillip Adams
