Quotations
Religion
Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
- Scriptures
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
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.
- Abraham Lincoln
What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.
- Søren Kierkegaard
Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
- Lenny Bruce
The Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?
- Deep Trivedi
Religions grow when religious leaders die.
- J. Krishnamurti
The word Christianity is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
- Ray Bradbury
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
