Quotations
Religion
Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.

"The Age Of Reason"
If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false
hopes"; then today itself the shutters of all the temples, mosques, churches and
other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.
-Deep Trivedi
Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.

Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
-Deep Trivedi
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Don’t tell me about your god with your words. Show me about your god with your actions.
