“The astonishing thing is that people can become religious without being converted. That is, they join churches and start reading the Bible and doing religious things with no change in the foundation of their happiness: It is still themselves. They are the ground of their joy.”
John Piper
“Reading their books over and over again, people continue making mistakes; they are so proud of their religious robes. But what is the use of bathing at sacred shrines of pilgrimage, when the filth of stubborn pride is within the mind?”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“Every tongue on the planet still speaks the name of Jesus, whether it's in a curse or a praise, even the Chinese! Tell me of another, who has managed to do so and the next time that I hit my thumb with a hammer... I'll shout out that name instead”
ED BULEY
“A man's moral worth is not measured by what his religious beliefs are but rather by what emotional impulses he has received from Nature during his lifetime”
Albert Einstein
“People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.”
Dave Barry
“A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.”
“The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they come after you with machetes.”
