(June 8, 2016 at 10:14 am)Mathilda Wrote: Religion is a tool to keep people in their place and to make them easier to exploit by the rich and powerful ruling class. This lesson of the Prodigal son is to accept that you will get taken for granted if you keep your head down and do the right thing and that somehow this is for the greater good.

Thanks for your thoughts! If you care to, can you point to the parts of the text that show you that this is the lesson?
