~ Religion is a man using a divining rod. Philosophy is a man using a pick and shovel ~ ~ Philosophy is a bully that talks loud when the danger is at a distant; but, the moment she is pressed hard by an enemy, she is nowhere to be found and leaves the brunt of the battle to be fought by her steady, humble comrade, religion. ~ ~ A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. ~ ~ Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not; but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men...the master of superstition is the people; and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reverse order ~ ~ Being unable to reason is not a positive character trait outside religion ~ ~ We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection. ~ ~ If organized religion is the opium of the masses, then disorganized religion is the marijuana of the lunatic fringe. ~ ~ Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires. ~ ~ Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless. ~ ~ I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion -
I have shudder'd at it.
I shudder no more.
I could be martyr'd for my religion
Love is my religion
And I could die for that.
I could die for you. ~ ~ I haven't got any special religion this morning. My God is the God of Walkers. If you walk hard enough, you probably don't need any other god. ~ ~ The religion of the atheist has a God-shaped blank at it’s heart ~ |
