Quotations
Religion
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
-Deep Trivedi
How can living life to the fullest with much passion, fun and happiness or moving
towards success, ever be irreligious? Irreligiousness itself begins with renouncing
the things out of fear.
-Deep Trivedi
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
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
"he October Country"
Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.
-Issac Asimov
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.

"The October Country"
There are many things which are difficult for any wise man to understand... Like
the rewards that are bestowed by God in heaven on performing good deeds; the
same when done here are condemned by the religious heads, but then who are
they to condemn it?
-Deep Trivedi
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
