Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
-Deep Trivedi
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
"The October Country"
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.
-D. S. Sarma
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.
-Hannah Harrington
"Saving June"
Perhaps not one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth, and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.
-Christopher Paolini
"Brisingr"
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
-George Bernard Shaw
