Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.

Quotations
Religion
You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
-Scriptures "Tao Te Ching 14"
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
There are many things which are difficult for any wise man to understand... Like
the rewards that are bestowed by God in heaven on performing good deeds; the
same when done here are condemned by the religious heads, but then who are
they to condemn it?
-Deep Trivedi
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
To die for religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
-Jorge Luis Borges
Hindu religion, where all gods are "kings" meaning the ones who look after the
interests of their subjects; how can that religion consider those who build palatial
ashrams from others donations, as religious?
-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
