religious rites and rituals.

Quotations
Religion
It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion.
-Albert Einstein

-Mark Twain "Mark Twain"
The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.

in understanding all the other truths of life. This is the reason why the world is full
of mentally and intelligently blind people.

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

-Christopher Paolini
"Brisingr"
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
-Thomas Paine
"The Age Of Reason"
Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.

Why impress false religion on the world? It will be of no service to it. Why run about for the sake of wealth? You cannot escape from death… Think, O think, you thoughtless fool, you shall have in the end to depart alone.
