Quotations
Religion
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering

-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

-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Nikhilananda"
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
-Thomas Paine
"The Age Of Reason"

-Søren Kierkegaard
I want Jesus to come back and say 'THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT!'
-Margaret Cho
The biggest problem of the world is the existence of the 50 million odd priests,
monks and the heads of various religious institutions, who in the pretext of being
religious, survive at others' mercy without doing anything fruitful themselves.
If they are compelled to do even farming, I promise that overnight the rate of
grains all across the world will almost be halved.
-Deep Trivedi
