Religion

instead of the talks and teachings of Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, they were

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.

If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false

come up instead.

Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.

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
