Quotations
Religion
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
-Richard Dawkins
You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
-Scriptures "Tao Te Ching 14"
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
The Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?
-Deep Trivedi
Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.
-Oscar Wilde
They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
-Deb Caletti
"The Nature of Jade"
If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)...
Then when and how did the reins of religion get into the hands of these pundits
and sannyasins?
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.
-George Carlin
How profound is your religious depth can be assessed from the number of
assurances and blessings you still need for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
