-Robert G. Ingersoll
Quotations
Religion
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
-Deep Trivedi
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.
-Frank Warren

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

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
Myth is what we call other people's religion.
-Joseph Campbell
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde

I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
