Prejudice, a dirty word, and faith,
a clean one, have something in common:
they both begin where reason ends.
Harper Lee
No man ever believes that the Bible means
what it says; He is always convinced
that is says what he means.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no religion without love, and people may
talk as much as they like about their religion,
but if it does not teach them to be kind
to man and animals, it is all a sham.
Anna Sewell
Disagreement is not oppression. Argument
is not assault. Words are not violence.
The answer to speech we do not like
is more speech.
Douglas Murray
It is usually futile to try to talk facts and
analysis to people who are enjoying a sense
of moral superiority in their ignorance.
Thomas Sowell
Women and freethinkers in traditional Muslim
communities inherit a double burden. If they
want to live in the modern world, they must
confront not only the theocrats, but many
secular liberals - whose apathy, sanctimony,
and hallucinations of 'racism' throw yet
another veil over their suffering.
Sam Harris
This is my simple religion.
There is no need for temples;
no need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
The philosophy is kindness.
Dalai Lama
Morality is doing what is right, no matter
what you are told. Religion is doing
what you are told, no matter what is right.
H.L. Mencken
Serving God is to do good,
but praying is thought an easier service
and therefore more generally chosen.
Benjamin Franklin
I know that what you call 'God' really exists,
but not in the form that you think; God is
primal cosmic energy, the love in your body,
your integrity, and your perception of
the nature in you and outside of you.
Wilhelm Reich
All were happy - birds, insects and children.
But grown-up people never left off cheating and
tormenting themselves and one another. It was
not this spring morning which they considered
sacred and important, not the beauty of God's
world, given to all creatures to enjoy -
a beauty which inclines the heart to peace,
to harmony and to love.
Leo Tolstoy
No one has ever seen God; but if we love
one another, God lives in us and his
love is made complete in us.
1 John 4:12
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul.
It is daily admission of one's weakness.
It is better in prayer to have a heart without
words than words without a heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
Most people do not pray; they only beg.
George Bernard Shaw

There are two ways through life:
the way of Nature and the way of Grace.
You have to decide which one you'll follow.
Terrence Malick
Love a man even in his sin, for that is
the semblance of Divine Love and
is the highest love on earth.
Love all of God's creation,
the whole and every grain of sand in it.
Love every leaf, every ray of God's light.
Love the animals, love the plants,
love everything. If you love everything,
you will perceive
the divine mystery of things.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
