    This saying critiques the religion like an oxymoron. From one hand, it is something beneficial when it comforts afflicted ones. From other hand, it can be seen as poisoning like brainwashing and manipulating which means afflicting the comfortable. Although people have become more critical towards religion, religion still is an option in our modern lives.
