Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
Quotations
Religion
Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But
now, the greediness of the priests have increased so much that in the name of
assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
-Deep Trivedi
A religious person knows how to embrace things in a right manner; an irreligious
person simply renounces things out of "fear".
-Deep Trivedi
They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
-Deb Caletti
"The Nature of Jade"
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
-Deep Trivedi
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand
-Mark Twain "Mark Twain"
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
-Ray Bradbury
"The October Country"
I have a problem with people who take the Constitution loosely and the Bible literally.
-Bill Maher
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
