assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.

Quotations
Religion
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Bani of Guru Gobind Singh"
They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
-Deb Caletti
"The Nature of Jade"
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson
Nothing is more disastrous for a human being than 'self-reproach'. Right from

gurus, ignorant of this science of mind, in order to run their businesses keep
feeding the feeling of sinfulness in people.
-Deep Trivedi
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
-José Saramago
"Death with Interruptions"
I have a problem with people who take the Constitution loosely and the Bible literally.

All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.

The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
