Perhaps not one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth, and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.

Quotations
Religion
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
-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
The word Christianity is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The whole world is so-called religious...barring a few intellectuals. But then
where does all the anger, miseries, worries, envy, hatred and failure come from?
... Because, conquering all these feelings is only religiousness.
-Deep Trivedi
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
-Deep Trivedi
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
-Deep Trivedi
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
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
-Dwight Lyman Moody
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
