-Mark Twain "Mark Twain"
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
-Deep Trivedi
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
Religion is just mind control.
-George Carlin
Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
-Lenny Bruce
Universal religion has no location in time or space. Its area is infinite, like the God it preaches. It is an experience. It is God-consciousness… All religions are challenged today by a common enemy: the rising tide of skepticism and secularism.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Nikhilananda"
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

Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
-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

My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.
