The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
Only that, which influences everyone everywhere equally is the blessing of God
like sun, moon, air, water and human life. How could having different scriptures
and diverse beliefs for various religions ever be termed as being religious?
-Deep Trivedi
Don't know why religious people and their religious sentiments are so weak that
they get hurt every now and then... As such it is understandable, the slightest
tremor is enough to cause the debilitated structures to collapse.
-Deep Trivedi
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
'Yes' is theism and 'No' is atheism. In life the number of things that you have firmly
abstained from...shows how irreligious you are. The meaning of irreligiousness
itself is the denial of God's creations.
-Deep Trivedi
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.
-Fulton J. Sheen
