Religion Quotes
-
Conflict between science and religion a dangerous foe.
Henry Norris Russell
-
One step closer to the end of the world. The one-two combo of corporate greed and organised religion apparently proved to be too much for reason, sanity and compassion.
Trent Reznor
Nine Inch Nails
-
A man who is convinced of the truth of his religion is indeed never tolerant. At the least, he is to feel pity for the adherent of another religion but usually it does not stop there. The faithful adherent of a religion will try first of all to convince those that believe in another religion and usually he goes on to hatred if he is not successful. However, hatred then leads to persecution when the might of the majority is behind it.
Albert Einstein
-
Science ever has been, and ever must be, the safeguard of religion.
David Brewster
-
Religion is the most widely debated and least agreed upon phenomenon of human history.
Georgia Harkness
-
I dislike The Exorcist, and I found it a warning sign of the dangers in a furious cinematic talent putting the audience through it (a Hitchcock phrase) without purpose, or without the nagging moral anxiety that activated Hitch. You see, I don't think William Friedkin believes in the Devil, or cares about him. I think he found exorcism a pretext for a gross-out and he calculated there was an audience for it, or a crowd ready to be challenged. Maybe I'm too much of an atheist to stand religion being so thrashed.
Edward Jay Epstein
-
Formal religion only takes us so far – for it is both safe and doable. Love, however, knows no limits, takes costly risks, and looks for ways to give more.
Carolyn Custis James
-
I have no problem with religion, and I grew up with a strong curiosity about spiritual matters, but my searching took me away from church and community worship to the internal journey. Before my recovery began, I found my God in music and the arts, with writers like Hermann Hesse, and musicians like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter.
Eric Clapton
Blind Faith
-
All human thought, all science, all religion, is the holding of a candle to the night of the universe.
Clark Ashton Smith
-
Religion and the wars against other faiths it engenders should teach us all that we have a pretty good thing going here. In fact, the separation of church and state is probably the single best idea that our two-hundred-year experiment in democracy has engendered.
Barry W. Lynn
-
Religion without art is a dead system of dogmas which have no effect on life.
Anagarika Govinda
-
Men can never understand the fear of everlasting punishment that fills the souls of women and children. The orthodox religion, as drawn from the Bible and expounded by the church, is enough to drive the most imaginative and sensitive natures to despair and death.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
