This made me chuckle.

Professor AC GRAYLING Professor of Philosophy, Birkbeck College was on today's panel.

The Question was "Do you agree with Karl Marx that religion is the opium of the masses"

This is what he came out with "Religion is just a quick fix, it takes about 10 minutes to explain. Science on the other hand takes a lifetime of learning."

Reminded me of myself when I was 12. "Maths, easy, just adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing - What's to know."

It's so human to dismiss something we don't understand as trivial.
