Quotations
Religion
I am for religion, against religions.
-Victor Hugo

-Robert G. Ingersoll

-Scriptures "Samayasara, 153"
We are religious gurus. What do we do? Whatever you do, we brand it as a

this skill of ours works...because there is no dearth of intelligent people in this
world.
-Deep Trivedi
I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.

Neither the ones who have created enormous wealth under the shade of religion,
nor the ones who have relinquished wealth for religion can be called 'free from
worldly attachments'.
