Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
The biggest problem of the world is the existence of the 50 million odd priests,
monks and the heads of various religious institutions, who in the pretext of being
religious, survive at others' mercy without doing anything fruitful themselves.
If they are compelled to do even farming, I promise that overnight the rate of
grains all across the world will almost be halved.
-Deep Trivedi
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
-Deep Trivedi
To die for religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
-Jorge Luis Borges
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.
-Abraham Lincoln
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
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Self-Reliance and Other Essays"
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
