If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion.

Quotations
God
The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
-Scriptures "The Book of Right Feeling"
I’d hate to be an atheist, die, and meet God only to have him say, I’m sorry, but I don’t believe in you.
-Robert G. Lee
Everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if is received with thanksgiving: for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
-Bible "1 Timothy 4.3-5"
The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
-Swami Vivekananda
For a week, you just closely observe the vibrations arising in your mind, events
unfolding around you and the functioning of nature. You will realize that other
than your false hopes and unfounded fears, no one needs "God".
-Deep Trivedi
God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
To whom praise and blame are equal, who is silent, content with every fortune, home-renouncing, steadfast in mind, and worships Me, that person is dear to me.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 12.15-19"
God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"The Poisonwood Bible"
God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
-Swami Vivekananda
