Religion
I have a problem with people who take the Constitution loosely and the Bible literally.
- Bill Maher
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
- Deep Trivedi
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
- Richard Francis Burton
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
- Mahatma Gandhi
What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.
- Hitopadesa
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
- Alan Wilson Watts
Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
- Ambrose Bierce
It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
- Deep Trivedi
