Quotations
Religion
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
We sing the glory of Sri Krishna, who is all truth, all consciousness and all bliss, who is responsible for creation, sustenance and destruction of the universe, and who puts an end to the threefold agony.
-Scriptures "Padma Purana"
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
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
-Albert Einstein
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.

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
If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)...
Then when and how did the reins of religion get into the hands of these pundits
and sannyasins?
-Deep Trivedi
When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity; when many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion.
-Robert M. Pirsig
