Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.
-George Carlin
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
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
-George Bernard Shaw
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx
To die for religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
-Jorge Luis Borges
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
-Deep Trivedi
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
-Deep Trivedi
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
-Deep Trivedi
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
"he October Country"
A religious person is...the one who accepts the responsibility for the success and
failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.
-Deep Trivedi
