Hindu religion has accepted the ones, wearing necklaces of human skulls, having
wine and opium, and even dance-lovers as their gods. Because Hindu religion
does not believe in abstinence of things but rather, teaching how to have them
in moderation and in the right manner.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
-Richard Dawkins
"The God Delusion"
All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing is more disastrous for a human being than 'self-reproach'. Right from
self-confidence to your existence, it shatters everything. Yet these religious
gurus, ignorant of this science of mind, in order to run their businesses keep
feeding the feeling of sinfulness in people.
-Deep Trivedi
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.
-Issac Asimov
Religious gurus are managing their businesses by misleading the world, but
it is a smaller crime. Their greater crime is; not only are they suppressing the
qualities and philosophies of great people, but are also running their businesses
by linking them to useless miracles.
-Deep Trivedi
The whole world is so-called religious...barring a few intellectuals. But then
where does all the anger, miseries, worries, envy, hatred and failure come from?
... Because, conquering all these feelings is only religiousness.
-Deep Trivedi
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
-Thomas Paine
"The Age Of Reason"
Universal religion has no location in time or space. Its area is infinite, like the God it preaches. It is an experience. It is God-consciousness… All religions are challenged today by a common enemy: the rising tide of skepticism and secularism.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Nikhilananda"
