So your claim is that the stupid unwashed masses have brought the witch doctors their money for centuries, but not a single one of them has ever gotten anything of value in return? By what strange logic would such a thing be possible?
^^^^^^^ CB; There is a theory that belief in and tithing to God and other religions has contributed mightlily to their remaining exploited and oppressed for about 5,000 years. Stange, but true. Not exactly that they got nothing from the belief, but not getting everything from God, either. People make religion. Religion doesn't make people.
