Religion
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
-Khalil Gibran

Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.

"Death with Interruptions"
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening

and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
-Deep Trivedi
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
