Quotations
Religion
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
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
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
Why impress false religion on the world? It will be of no service to it. Why run about for the sake of wealth? You cannot escape from death… Think, O think, you thoughtless fool, you shall have in the end to depart alone.

Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
-Swami Vivekananda
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
-Richard Dawkins
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.

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