Quotations
Religion

Why did the intelligent people of the world lose interest in religion? Because
instead of the talks and teachings of Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, they were
presented with the Bible and Vedas concocted by the religious gurus.
- Deep Trivedi

Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
- José Saramago

"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
- Deep Trivedi

What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.
- Søren Kierkegaard

The Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?
- Deep Trivedi

'Yes' is theism and 'No' is atheism. In life the number of things that you have firmly
abstained from...shows how irreligious you are. The meaning of irreligiousness
itself is the denial of God's creations.
- Deep Trivedi

A religious person is...the one who accepts the responsibility for the success and
failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.
- Deep Trivedi

Myth is what we call other people's religion.
- Joseph Campbell

The foundation of Hindu religion has been laid on the pillar of tolerance. It
has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.
It didn't kill them the way reformers like Jesus, Socrates or Mansoor were...
Then where did this Hindu fanaticism emerge from?... Perhaps in order to make
their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.
- Deep Trivedi

I want Jesus to come back and say 'THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT!'
- Margaret Cho
