Quotations
Religion
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
Perceiving her son endowed with the characteristics of Vishnu, Devaki prayed: You are the Illuminator of all psycho-physical organisms, the indefinable Reality, which the Vedas declare as the unmanifest cause… When the universe is dissolved by force of Time, the gross elements are ultimately merged in ahankara (their cause)…
-Scriptures "Bhagavata Purana"
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
-Deep Trivedi
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
-Deep Trivedi
The one who on demand of time, situation and circumstances can carry out an
act whenever, whatever, however is necessary for the benefit of all...is religious;
the rest all are irreligious.
-Deep Trivedi
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
I am for religion, against religions.
-Victor Hugo
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
-Seneca the Younger "Seneca the Younger"
