All religions seem to be predicated on made up stuff involving invisible fictional characters.

In this case 'the opiate of the masses' seems to have been taken somewhat literally (substitute meth for opiate)

On a personal note, I have always enjoyed your posts JB - they cut through the crap and get to the nub of the issue.
