~ Dangerous consequences will follow when politicians and rulers forget moral principles. Whether we believe in God or karma, ethics is the foundation of every religion. ~  ~ The principle of liberty and equality, if coupled with mere selfishness, will make men only devils, each trying to be independent that he may fight only for his own interest. And here is the need of religion and its power, to bring in the principle of benevolence and love to men. ~ ~ Christianity is the only religion on earth that has felt that omnipotence made God incomplete. Christianity alone has felt that God, to be wholly God must be a rebel as well as a king. ~ ~ Religion and nationalism, as well as any custom and any belief however absurd and degrading, if it only connects the individual with others, are refuges from what man most dreads: isolation. ~ ~ Patriotism is a superstition, one far more injurious, brutal and inhumane than religion. ~ ~ Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free ~ ~ Religion is the highest vanity. ~ ~ Twin-sister of Religion, Selfishness ~ ~ Selfishness is the only real atheism; aspiration, unselfishness, the only real religion. ~ ~ I have observed that religious practice is not a precondition either of ethical conduct or of happiness itself. I have also suggested that, whether a person practices religion or not, the spiritual qualities of love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, humility and so on are indispensable ~ ~ Arguing about religion is much easier than practicing it. ~ ~ A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality. ~  |
