assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.

Quotations
Religion
All religions exhort us to cleanse the heart of malice, greed, hate and anger. All religions hold out the gift of Grace as the prize for success in this cleaning process.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
The measure in which a person is blind in the field of religion, he is equally blind
in understanding all the other truths of life. This is the reason why the world is full
of mentally and intelligently blind people.
-Deep Trivedi
Far better it is for you to say: I am a sinner, than to say: I have no need of religion. The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.
-Fulton J. Sheen
"Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary"
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.
-Abraham Lincoln
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
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

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
