Quotations
Religion
We are religious gurus. What do we do? Whatever you do, we brand it as a
sin... Meaning, despite being dependent on your donations, we abuse you. Still
this skill of ours works...because there is no dearth of intelligent people in this
world.
-Deep Trivedi
To die for religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
-Jorge Luis Borges
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
-Richard Dawkins
"The God Delusion"
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Religion has nothing to do with God, worship, temples, mosques or churches;
it is directly related only to the teachings that take the human mind to newer
unprecedented heights.
-Deep Trivedi
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
