Religious gurus are managing their businesses by misleading the world, but
it is a smaller crime. Their greater crime is; not only are they suppressing the
qualities and philosophies of great people, but are also running their businesses
by linking them to useless miracles.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
Religion is just mind control.
-George Carlin
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
We sing the glory of Sri Krishna, who is all truth, all consciousness and all bliss, who is responsible for creation, sustenance and destruction of the universe, and who puts an end to the threefold agony.
-Scriptures "Padma Purana"
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"
Hindu religion has accepted the ones, wearing necklaces of human skulls, having
wine and opium, and even dance-lovers as their gods. Because Hindu religion
does not believe in abstinence of things but rather, teaching how to have them
in moderation and in the right manner.
-Deep Trivedi
The measure in which a person is blind in the field of religion, he is equally blind
in understanding all the other truths of life. This is the reason why the world is full
of mentally and intelligently blind people.
-Deep Trivedi
We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
-Deep Trivedi
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
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.
-Abraham Lincoln
