The Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?

Quotations
Religion
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.

"The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet"

-Dalai Lama Xiv
I am a religious person, although I am not a believer.
-Philip Pullman
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
In the past 50 years, what joy and happiness has been offered by the politicians
and religious heads to the people of our country? And in comparison, what is
it that has not been bestowed by our legendary singers like Mohammed Rafi,
Kishore Kumar or Lata - Asha... Thanks to their voices, even today people get to
live a life of bliss and serenity for at least two hours a day.
-Deep Trivedi
