Quotations
Religion
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
Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.
- George Carlin
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is cheaper than religion.
- Deep Trivedi
I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.
- Hannah Harrington
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
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
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
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
- Thomas Paine
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own? Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
- Deep Trivedi
Hindu religion, where all gods are "kings" meaning the ones who look after the interests of their subjects; how can that religion consider those who build palatial ashrams from others donations, as religious?
- Deep Trivedi
