Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
-Lenny Bruce
Quotations
Religion
The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.
-Abu'l Ala Al Ma'arri
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
-Deep Trivedi
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
-Alan Wilson Watts
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.
-Thomas Paine
Don’t tell me about your god with your words. Show me about your god with your actions.
-Steve Maraboli
"Life, the Truth, and Being Free"
The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
-Swami Vivekananda
