Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
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

-Fulton J. Sheen
"Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary"
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.
-Abraham Lincoln
The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
