The biggest problem of the world is the existence of the 50 million odd priests,
monks and the heads of various religious institutions, who in the pretext of being
religious, survive at others' mercy without doing anything fruitful themselves.
If they are compelled to do even farming, I promise that overnight the rate of
grains all across the world will almost be halved.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.
-Hannah Harrington
"Saving June"
Everyone is proud of his caste and religion. Please for once, observe yourself
and the people around you carefully - the pride will disappear by itself. And only
then, embracing the world you will be able to tread the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
-David Mitchell
"The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet"
I am a religious person, although I am not a believer.
-Philip Pullman
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.
-Mahatma Gandhi
What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.
-Søren Kierkegaard
Those who are fundamentalists and refuse to listen to anything said against them,
we call them terrorists. Don't you find similar traits in majority of our religious
heads? If this wasn't true then why were Socrates, Mansoor and Jesus killed?
-Deep Trivedi
