We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion.
-Albert Einstein
Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams
by inculcating the unnecessary feeling of 'sinfulness' in you. What kind of Hindu
are you and what kind of saints are these?
-Deep Trivedi
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
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
The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.
-Abu'l Ala Al Ma'arri
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
"he October Country"
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
-Mahatma Gandhi
