The word Christianity is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Religion
It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion.
-Albert Einstein
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
Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But
now, the greediness of the priests have increased so much that in the name of
assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
-Deep Trivedi
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
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.
-Frank Warren
"PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God"
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
Why did the intelligent people of the world lose interest in religion? Because
instead of the talks and teachings of Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, they were
presented with the Bible and Vedas concocted by the religious gurus.
-Deep Trivedi
