Religions Quotes (page 29)

Love and religion! thought Clarissa, going back into the drawing room, tingling all over. How detestable, how detestable they are! Virginia Woolf
Let us at least say of religion that it means that every part of the body is infused with mind, not that the mind is overwhelmed and drowned in body. For the principal attribute of the Gods, without or within us, is mind. Thornton Wilder
If you limit the search for truth and forbid men anywhere, in any way, to seek knowledge, you paralyze the vital force of truth itself. In the best sense of the word, Jesus was a radical. His religion has been so long identified with conservation -- often with conservatism of the obstinate and unyielding sort -- that it is almost startling for us sometimes to remember that all of the conservatism of his own times was against him; that it was the young, free, restless, sanguine, progressive... Phillips Brooks
Curiosity and irreverence go together. Curiosity cannot exist without the other. Curiosity asks, "Is this true?" "Just because this has always been the way, is the best or right way of life, the best or right religion, political or economic value, morality?" To the questioner, nothing is sacred. He detests dogma, defies any finite definition of morality, rebels against any repression of a free, open search of ideas no matter where they may lead. He is challenging, insulting, agitating,... Saul Alinsky
I have always envied people who believe strongly in religion, people who could face a tragedy by praying and know that it would be all right. As unscientific as it seems, well, it would be nice to lay the responsibilities and pain on someone else's larger shoulders. Jodi Picoult
Frank Zappa quote: "The only difference between a cult and a religion is the..."
The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they ow? Frank Zappa
Ambrose Bierce quote: "Infidel, n. In New York, one who does not believe in the..."
Infidel, n. In New York, one who does not believe in the Christian religion; in Constantinople, one who does. Ambrose Bierce
In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman. Norman Maclean
How subservient to Jesus, or to a humane God Almighty, were the leaders of this country back in the 1840's, when Marx said such a supposedly evil thing about religion? They had made it perfectly legal to own human slaves, and weren't going to led women vote or hold public office, God forbid, for another eighty year. Kurt Vonnegut
Straight men who visit prostitutes are valiantly striving to keep sex free from emotion, duty, family--in other words, from society, religion, and procreative Mother Nature. Camille Paglia
Abraham Joshua Heschel quote: "Only those will apprehend religion who can probe its depth,..."
Only those will apprehend religion who can probe its depth, who can combine intuition and love with the rigor of method Abraham Joshua Heschel
Gene Simmons quote: "Believe me, the library is the temple of God. Education is the..."
Believe me, the library is the temple of God. Education is the most sacred religion of all. Gene Simmons
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "this clumsy collision of two very impatient forms of ignorance..."
...this clumsy collision of two very impatient forms of ignorance was known as the quarrel of Science and Religion. Gilbert K. Chesterton
I would say that all our sciences are the material that has to be mythologized. A mythology gives spiritual import - what one might call rather the psychological, inward import, of the world of nature round about us, as understood today. There's no real conflict between science and religion ... What is in conflict is the science of 2000 BC ... and the science of the 20th century AD. Joseph Campbell
I was glad that our venerable, almost formless religions, drained of all intransigence and purged of savage rites, linked us mysteriously to the most ancient secrets of man and of earth, not forbidding us, however, a secular explanation of facts and a rational view of human conduct. Marguerite Yourcenar
