“Religion is a means of exploitation employed by the strong against the weak; religion is a cloak of ambition, injustice and vice”
Georges Bizet
“If we do not know ourselves to be full of pride, ambition, lust, weakness, misery, and injustice, we are indeed blind. And if, knowing this, we do not desire deliverance, what can we say of a man...?”
Blaise Pascal
“The Olympic Movement is a 20th century religion. Where there is no injustice of caste, of race, of family, of wealth.”
Avery Brundage
“All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”
Noah Webster
“You mean 'Injustice Sunday II', ... is using religion to alienate people rather than to bring people together. It has more to do with politics than with theology. I'm disappointed that clergy would be leading such a divisive call.”
Timothy McDonald
“We cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals. He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right.”
Karl Wilhelm von Humboldt
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
