The comparison of religions is only possible, in some measure, through the miraculous virtue of sympathy. We can know men to a certain extent if at the same time as we observe them from the outside we manage by sympathy to transport our own soul into theirs for a time. In the same way the study of different religions does not lead to a real knowledge of them unless we transport ourselves for a time by faith to the very center of whichever one we are studying...This scarcely ever happens, for some have no faith, and the others have faith exclusively in one religion and only bestow upon the others the sort of attention we give to strangely shaped shells. There are others again who think they are capable of impartiality because they have only a vague religiosity which they can turn indifferently in any direction, whereas, on the contrary, we must have given all our attention, all our faith, all our love to a particular religion in order to think of any other religion with the high degree of attention, faith, and love that is proper to it. ~ Simone Weil
Comparitive Religion quotes by Simone Weil
As a matter of fact, no one knows that God exists and no one knows that God does not exist. To my mind there is no evidence that God exists - that this world is governed by a being of infinite goodness, wisdom and power, but I do not pretend to know. ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Comparitive Religion quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
Alas! those good old days are gone, when a murderer could wipe the stain from his name and soothe his trouble to sleep simply by getting out his blocks and mortar and building an addition to a church. ~ Mark Twain
Comparitive Religion quotes by Mark Twain
Real religion is not about being a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim. Real religion is about loving God, & dedicating ones life to be an instrument of Gods compassion, kindness towards other living beings. ~ Radhanath Swami
Comparitive Religion quotes by Radhanath Swami
The religionists are the enemies of liberty, and the friends of liberty attack religion; the high-minded and the noble advocate bondage, and the meanest and most servile preach independence; honest and enlightened citizens are opposed to all progress, whilst men without patriotism and without principle put themselves forward as the apostles of civilization and intelligence. Has such been the fate of the centuries which have preceded our own? and has man always inhabited a world like the present, where all things are out of their natural connections, where virtue is without genius, and genius without honor; where the love of order is confounded with a taste for oppression, and the holy rites of freedom with a contempt of law; where the light thrown by conscience on human actions is dim, and where nothing seems to be any longer forbidden or allowed, honorable or shameful, false or true? ~ Alexis De Tocqueville
Comparitive Religion quotes by Alexis De Tocqueville
It's the religion that has power to survive time, to go into depths of heart, and make people believe in them; while philosophy actually doesn't. Philosophies can't unite people of different views and interests, while a religion can. Religion works like an authority or a supreme power that rules peoples mind and that is why it has real importance in every language and every region on the earth. ~ Tarun Jain
Comparitive Religion quotes by Tarun Jain
Science and Truth are simple phenomenon of nature, but it is the known that is preventing us from mastering the unknown. ~ Chandrakanth Natekar
Comparitive Religion quotes by Chandrakanth Natekar
The more severely he struggles to hold on to the primal face-to-face relation with God, the more tenuous this becomes, until in the end the relation to God Himself threatens to become a relation to Nothingness. ~ William Barrett
Comparitive Religion quotes by William Barrett
What a solace Christianity must be to one who has an undoubted conviction of its truth! ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Comparitive Religion quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Direct religious experience is threatening to organized religion, which often mediates it with a rabbi or priest. ~ Rodger Kamenetz
Comparitive Religion quotes by Rodger Kamenetz
Letting off ammunition in every direction, Allah is my only protection. But wait a minute, Saddam Hussein prays the same. ~ Louis Eric Barrier
Comparitive Religion quotes by Louis Eric Barrier
There are (or is) indeed no contradiction between science and religion, the fields of which are different, and which, far from mutually fighting and persecute, must, on the contrary, complete each other. ~ African Spir
Comparitive Religion quotes by African Spir
In education, as in religion and love, compulsion thwarts the purpose for which it is employed. ~ John Lancaster Spalding
Comparitive Religion quotes by John Lancaster Spalding
If we can keep the Christians thinking of themselves as sinners not sons and daughters, we can make them view their relationship to The Adversary as a negative-sum-game: They fall in a hole, He pulls them out, they fall back in, etc... That way they never get anywhere; they're always either standing next to a hole or down in it. ~ Geoffrey Wood
Comparitive Religion quotes by Geoffrey Wood
The only question that matters with regard to a religion and its mythology is What do these stories mean? ~ Reza Aslan
Comparitive Religion quotes by Reza Aslan
The second commandment is "Thou shall not construct any graven images." Is this really the pinnacle of what we can achieve morally? The second most important moral principle for all the generations of humanity? ~ Sam Harris
Comparitive Religion quotes by Sam Harris
The con is a kind of jiu-jitsu that turns the sucker's own greed into its principal weapon. The greedier you are the more likely you are to be conned, and for the greater a sum. Since people regularly dispose of their intelligence in their rush to be swindled, and then turn right around and do it again, humans must want to be duped. Institutionalized wishful thinking - the stock market, religion, advertising - is after all a cornerstone of our system. ~ Luc Sante
Comparitive Religion quotes by Luc Sante
Religion that is confined to the sanctuary is worse than no religion at all, for it is false. ~ C. Hassell Bullock
Comparitive Religion quotes by C. Hassell Bullock
People usually seek to join a religious system in order to gain the eternal bliss and freedom of the soul. But belonging somewhere; anywhere is not freedom. Free is the wind. You need to become the wind, not wanting to know how and why, but only to experience this quality of freedom that leads to the original "religion". There the soul is finally ONE and aligned with anything. ~ Grigoris Deoudis
Comparitive Religion quotes by Grigoris Deoudis
Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God. ~ Heywood Broun
Comparitive Religion quotes by Heywood Broun
I have no argument with those who see in organized religion a template or an imperative to live life according to a prescribed set of beliefs. Just give others the room, within the laws of civil society, to believe or not believe whatever they like. ~ Michael J. Fox
Comparitive Religion quotes by Michael J. Fox
Religion isn't something in which you believe but something you understand. ~ Daniel Marques
Comparitive Religion quotes by Daniel Marques
Mediocre people often have a tinge of religion about them, but it is only a tinge. They take their religion as it comes. They may pray and worship more or less regularly, and they usually stay clear of publicly disgraceful crimes, but they are lukewarm, colorless. Seldom or never do they read a serious book about prayer or study to learn more about God and His plans, to discover how to be humble and chaste and patient. They are always too busy for the one thing necessary. ~ Thomas Dubay
Comparitive Religion quotes by Thomas Dubay
Usually without realizing it, our ultimate peace starts and ends in the authority of God alone, which means the solution to living in joy, peace, and harmony with our fellow men has been here for all since the beginning of mankind and throughout civilization. I have yet to feel the urge to argue politics: it reminds me of getting off the freeway to sit in raging traffic. ~ Criss Jami
Comparitive Religion quotes by Criss Jami
I follow the Way of Love,
and where Love's caravan takes its path,
there is my religion, my faith. ~ Ibn Arabi
Comparitive Religion quotes by Ibn Arabi
Religion and practical life are not different. To take sanyas (renunciation) is not to abandon life. The real spirit is to make the country, your family, work together instead of working only for your own. The step beyond is to serve humanity and the next step is to serve God, ~ Bal Gangadhar Tilak
Comparitive Religion quotes by Bal Gangadhar Tilak
Religious ideas such as the idea of God have functioned as regulative ideals for us to aspire after: we too could become unified and capable subjects; we too could learn how to know the world and reshape our environment to meet our own needs. ~ Don Cupitt
Comparitive Religion quotes by Don Cupitt
Good health is the best weapon against religion. Healthy bodies and healthy minds have never been shaken by religious fears. ~ Emile M. Cioran
Comparitive Religion quotes by Emile M. Cioran
Science adjusts its views based on what's observed
Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved. ~ Tim Minchin
Comparitive Religion quotes by Tim Minchin
The Good News is the gospel of glad-tidings. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Comparitive Religion quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Many people who say they have no religion are simply saying they have no official religious affiliation. They may actually have strong personal beliefs. ~ Rodney Stark
Comparitive Religion quotes by Rodney Stark
And so [my brother] Gilbert and I, brought up without a formal religion, remained throughout our lifetimes just what Father was, freethinkers. And, likewise, doubters and dissenters and perhaps Utopians. Father's rule had been 'Question everything, take nothing for granted,' and I never outlived it, and I would suggest it be made the motto of a world journalists' association. ~ George Seldes
Comparitive Religion quotes by George Seldes
[On Jason Mashak's book SALTY AS A LIP, as reviewed in The Prague Post:] Mashak amalgamates various national, historical and religious traditions into a myth-mash that illuminates many sects' fanatical compartmentalizing, and the fact that so many religions and philosophies share similar goals, if not roots. ~ Stephan Delbos
Comparitive Religion quotes by Stephan Delbos
Our world will never be changed until individuals have changed, and individuals will never change until religion as inner transformation has penetrated to the hearts of their beings and made them into new persons. Change happens one human being at a time. It is your transformation, my transformation, that will make a difference in this wondrous but troubled world of ours, as we become who we truly are. ~ Theodore J. Nottingham
Comparitive Religion quotes by Theodore J. Nottingham
Religion was at it's best when it emphasized spiritual experiences rather than received dogma. "The juice goes out of Christianity when it becomes too based on faith, rather than living like Jesus or seeing the world as Jesus saw it," he told me. "I think different religions are different doors to the same house. Sometimes I think the house exists, and sometimes I don't. It's a great mystery. ~ Walter Isaacson
Comparitive Religion quotes by Walter Isaacson
Our
hunters come from a diversified set of beliefs, but work together toward one goal. And we're the best
at what we do."
"But you guys were at the church."
Jayden shrugged. "Father Bancroft is an area leader, so the church is our base, but elsewhere it
could be a synagogue, mosque, Buddhist temple. Any holy place will do. We fight demons, not each
other. ~ A&E Kirk
Comparitive Religion quotes by A&E Kirk
In your country and mine we should have the privilege of making fun of this kind of morality, but it would be unkind to do it here.Many of these people have the reasoning faculty, but no one uses it in religious matters. ~ Mark Twain
Comparitive Religion quotes by Mark Twain
I go to church strapped with a 45 glock. ~ Master P
Comparitive Religion quotes by Master P
Religion is to democracy as a bridle is to a horse. Religion moderates democracy because it appeals to an authority higher than democracy itself.5 But ~ Charles J. Chaput
Comparitive Religion quotes by Charles J. Chaput
Dryden was a highly prolific literary figure, a professional writer who was at the centre of all the greatest debates of his time: the end of the Commonwealth, the return of the monarch, the political and religious upheavals of the 1680s, and the specifically literary questions of neoclassicism opposed to more modern trends. He was Poet Laureate from 1668, but lost this position in 1688 on the overthrow of James II. Dryden had become Catholic in 1685, and his allegorical poem The Hind and the Panther (1687) discusses the complex issues of religion and politics in an attempt to reconcile bitterly opposed factions. This contains a well-known line which anticipates Wordsworth more than a century later: 'By education most have been misled … / And thus the child imposes on the man'. The poem shows an awareness of change as one grows older, and the impossibility of holding one view for a lifetime:

My thoughtless youth was winged with vain desires,
My manhood, long misled by wandering fires,
Followed false lights…

After 1688, Dryden returned to the theatre, which had given him many of his early successes in tragedy, tragi-comedy, and comedy, as well as with adaptations of Shakespeare.
......
Dryden was an innovator, leading the move from heroic couplets to blank verse in drama, and at the centre of the intellectual debates of the Augustan age. He experimented with verse forms throughout his writing life until Fables Ancient and Modern (1700) ~ Ronald Carter
Comparitive Religion quotes by Ronald Carter
How do you give something away with the knowledge that you will get it back in three days, and then claim it to be the 'Ultimate Sacrifice'? ~ Jake Jesser
Comparitive Religion quotes by Jake Jesser
I don't have a religion, but I respect them. ~ Paul Watson
Comparitive Religion quotes by Paul Watson
This country, the Republic of Indonesia, does not belong to any group, nor to any religion, nor to any ethnic group, nor to any group with customs and traditions, but the property of all of us from Sabang to Merauke! ~ Sukarno
Comparitive Religion quotes by Sukarno
The ideology that whiteness is supreme, better, best, permeates the air we breathe - in our schools, in our offices and in our country's common life. White supremacy is a tradition that must be named and a religion that must be renounced. When this work has not been done, those who live in whiteness become oppressive, whether intentional or not ~ Austin Channing Brown
Comparitive Religion quotes by Austin Channing Brown
Even at school I studied ethics instead of religion. ~ Ville Valo
Comparitive Religion quotes by Ville Valo
To be born in India is to arrive into the world swimming in religion. ~ Ravi Zacharias
Comparitive Religion quotes by Ravi Zacharias
Islam, or any religion, will become totalitarian if it is made into an ideology, because that is the nature of ideologies. ~ Abdolkarim Soroush
Comparitive Religion quotes by Abdolkarim Soroush
He prefers a deliberate performance that can be made to seem spontaneous. ~ Sherry Turkle
