Religion
What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.
- Hitopadesa
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
- Alan Wilson Watts
Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
- Lenny Bruce
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
- Mahatma Gandhi
I am a religious person, although I am not a believer.
- Philip Pullman
I had a thousand questions to ask God; but when I met him they all fled and didn't seem to matter.
- Christopher Morley
"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
Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams

are you and what kind of saints are these?
- Deep Trivedi
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
- Seneca the Younger
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
- Deep Trivedi
