Quotations
Religion
We must remember that the test of our religious principles lies not just in what we say, not only in our prayers, not even in living blameless lives - but in what we do for others
- Harry S. Truman
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)...

and sannyasins?
- Deep Trivedi
Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams
by inculcating the unnecessary feeling of 'sinfulness' in you. What kind of Hindu

- Deep Trivedi
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.
