Copernicus Reburied As Hero

CasualFriday writes "Mikolaj Kopernik, a.k.a. Nicolaus Copernicus, the 16th-century astronomer whose findings were condemned by the Roman Catholic Church as heretical, was reburied by Polish priests as a hero on Saturday, nearly 500 years after he was laid to rest in an unmarked grave. On Saturday, his remains were blessed with holy water by some of Poland's highest-ranking clerics before an honor guard ceremoniously carried his coffin through the imposing red brick cathedral and lowered it back into the same spot where part of his skull and other bones were found in 2005."

Charity is a bad thing. The lower classes, always somebody's tool. The Government uses them to get votes, the religions win them easily with some charity and false promises, and the corporations get their cheap labor from them.

Governments, Religions and corporations want to keep the poor down there. They need poor people. Charity is the tool they use to keep them there. It will keep them alive, but it won't let them go anywhere.

People need jobs, hospitals, and equal opportunities. We are already creating the means to create that equal opportunity for everyone through taxes. Except politicians steal the money, and give some to corporations and religions. Then, together, they can use that money to bribe the poor. I'll give you food, but you'll turn into a catholic. I'll give you food, but you'll vote for me. I'll pay you minimal wage, but you'll work 16 hours a day. Same plan, different perpetrators.

Now, you were talking about positive things coming out of religions?
