You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
'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
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.

nor the ones who have relinquished wealth for religion can be called 'free from

We are religious gurus. What do we do? Whatever you do, we brand it as a

this skill of ours works...because there is no dearth of intelligent people in this
world.
-Deep Trivedi
I want Jesus to come back and say 'THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT!'
-Margaret Cho
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
-David Mitchell

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.
