Quotations
Religion
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
- Deep Trivedi
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
- Seneca the Younger
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
- Thomas Jefferson
All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.
- D. S. Sarma
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
- Deep Trivedi
Why impress false religion on the world? It will be of no service to it. Why run about for the sake of wealth? You cannot escape from death… Think, O think, you thoughtless fool, you shall have in the end to depart alone.
- A Spiritual Leader
Perhaps not one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth, and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.
- Christopher Paolini
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.
- Thomas Paine
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
- Alan Watts
Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.
- Garrison Keillor
