Religion

The foundation of Hindu religion has been laid on the pillar of tolerance. It
has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.
It didn't kill them the way reformers like Jesus, Socrates or Mansoor were...
Then where did this Hindu fanaticism emerge from?... Perhaps in order to make
their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.
-Deep Trivedi
Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.

If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
I have a problem with people who take the Constitution loosely and the Bible literally.
