Introduction

Religion in itself is the faith of the presence of a supernatural being. However, Karl Marx looks at it in a slightly different way.

He argued out that the people who throng to the various religious entities do so not to seek for spiritual nourishment but as a way of seeking for refuge, shelter, ...

With a Gin Vermouth in her hand, Harper sat down at the kitchen table. She took a sip, and licked the rim of the glass, eyeing the two Valium pills on the table. The lingering aftertaste of love-making was soon washed away, as she heard a voice behind her. “Not letting go deforms you, and the truth sets us free. Joe is gone, Harper.
