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.
A peninsula is an area of land (like Florida) that hangs off of land like an island but one part's connected. A tundra is wide open, flat land, like the Alaskan Tundra. A mountain range is a long string of mountains side by side like the Appalachians. And for mountain barriers (I'm not sure I fully understand but) it seems like theirs more dew and wind for example on one side of the mountain and the others the opposite because the mountain blocks it (not completely sure bout the mountain part but i think its right!). Ocean currents is the force of the wind blowing up against the sea, helping to create the waves, and of course the pull of the moon! Hope I helped! Sorry I can't help with the wind barriers part!
