Whatever his private beliefs and religious practice, a president must be the guardian of the laws which ensure America's religious diversity. ~ Walter F. Mondale
Religious Diversity quotes by Walter F. Mondale
No one religion is right for everyone, and no religion - whether it be Wicca, Buddhism, Judaism, Catholicism - is more valid than any other. Religious diversity is something that needs not only to be tolerated, but also celebrated. The good that religion was designed to teach and maintain inevitably turns to harm when one religious group claims superiority over another or tries to deny others of their constitutional right to believe in and worship the god or goddess of their choice. ~ Gerina Dunwich
Religious Diversity quotes by Gerina Dunwich
Religious symbols should be visible in public space, in a dignified and non-provocative manner. Christmas trees here, Jewish menorahs there and, further along, a minaret - these symbols represent human life in all its diversity. ~ Tariq Ramadan
Religious Diversity quotes by Tariq Ramadan
If you chose a particular religion, you were siding with the government religion of whatever region you were in. That's never been true in America, but also, the United States also has so many more immigrant groups which also tends to imply more religious diversity right away. ~ Susan Jacoby
Religious Diversity quotes by Susan Jacoby
A religion that demands absolutely irrefutable obedience, is anything but religion. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Religious Diversity quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Malaysia is a country unlike any other: Full of promise and fragility. Its history, cultural and religious diversity make it a rich, compelling and surprising land. ~ Tariq Ramadan
Religious Diversity quotes by Tariq Ramadan
Identity is a concept of our age that should be used very carefully. All types of identities, ethnic, national, religious, sexual or whatever else, can become your prison after a while. The identity that you stand up for can enslave you and close you to the rest of the world. ~ Murathan Mungan
Religious Diversity quotes by Murathan Mungan
Sophia could just as well have gutted me. In Allah's name, I drank beer for you. I dismantled my entire value system of holding Allah's word above all for you. I reinterpreted my Islamic teachings to justify being with you. ~ Sam Wazan
Religious Diversity quotes by Sam Wazan
Lack of insight into each other's private qualia of God, results in a never-ending argument between two people with vastly different conceptions of the term God. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Religious Diversity quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Make love your religion, and all the citadels of man-made religious conflicts shall disappear from the face of earth once and for all. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Religious Diversity quotes by Abhijit Naskar
When you move to a new environment with cultural and social characteristics different from your own, it is only logical, that you loosen some of the knots of your religious doctrines, to embrace the new and vivid environment as much as you wish to be embraced by the environment. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Religious Diversity quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Whatever religious tradition you call your own, you will probably find religious diversity even within it. We can believe we mean the same things when we use highly charged theological terms like God, Christ, Bible, or church teachings. Yet these words convey layers of meaning, not discrete definitions. It is important to remember this and do our own mental translations as we communicate with each other. ~ George Tyger
Religious Diversity quotes by George Tyger
Tolerance is NOT acceptance. And that's the problem with ALL religion. It teaches acceptance only for those who believe exactly as you do, and at best, tolerance for the rest of us "sinners." Sorry. Not acceptable. ~ Quentin R. Bufogle
Religious Diversity quotes by Quentin R. Bufogle
Religion, as it is generally taught all over the world, is said to be based upon faith and belief, and, in most cases, consists only of different sets of theories, and that is the reason why we find all religions quarrelling with one another. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Religious Diversity quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Every brain on your planet generates its own beliefs. Just imagine, around seven billion human brains are generating seven billion unique beliefs at this very moment. Now imagine, what would happen, if all those seven billion humans start imposing their own beliefs on each other. The only thing that is going to come out of such inhuman attempt is chaos and eventually mass extinction. So, the only way to avoid such a catastrophic consequence is to be more compassionate about people's beliefs. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Religious Diversity quotes by Abhijit Naskar
I could show how largely our laws and customs are based upon the laws of Moses and the teachings of Christ; how constantly the Bible is appealed to as the guide of life and the authority in questions of morals ... Add a volume of unofficial declaration to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation. ~ David Josiah Brewer
Religious Diversity quotes by David Josiah Brewer
Religious fanaticism has clearly produced, and in all probability will continue to produce, enormous amounts of bickering, fighting, violence, bloodshed, homicide, feuds, wars, and genocide. ~ Albert Ellis
Religious Diversity quotes by Albert Ellis
It's not about adding diversity for the sake of diversity, it's about subtracting homogeneity for the sake of realism. ~ Mary Robinette Kowal
Religious Diversity quotes by Mary Robinette Kowal
We have become famous for religious gatherings rather than individual personal work with God. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Religious Diversity quotes by Sunday Adelaja
In the 1980s ... it was a liberal philosophy of government that changed the rules to suit its own political ends. We were forfeiting our freedoms to conform to a humanistic philosophy that was patently antireligious. ~ James G. Watt
Religious Diversity quotes by James G. Watt
We must judge the tree by its fruit. The best fruits of the religious experience are the best things history has to offer. The highest flights of charity, devotion, trust, patience, and bravery to which the wings of human nature have spread themselves, have all been flown for religious ideals. ~ William James
Religious Diversity quotes by William James
To be religious is to have found an answer to the question, 'What is the meaning of life? ~ Victor E. Frankl, Quoting Einstein
Religious Diversity quotes by Victor E. Frankl, Quoting Einstein
But who is to decide who truly fears the Lord? The magistrate has no power to enforce religious demands. The laws of the First Table of the Ten Commandments are not regulations for a civil society or a political order. They belong to the realm of religion, not politics. ~ Roger Williams
Religious Diversity quotes by Roger Williams
A true Democratic Spirit is up there with religious faith and emotional maturity and all those other top-of-the-Maslow-Pyramid-type qualities that people spend their whole lives working on. A Democratic Spirit's constituent rigor and humility and self-honesty are, in fact, so hard to maintain on certain issues that it's almost irresistibly tempting to fall in with some established dogmatic camp and to follow that camp's line on the issue and to let your position harden within the camp and become inflexible and to believe that he other camps are either evil or insane and to spend all your time and energy trying to shout over them. ~ David Foster Wallace
Religious Diversity quotes by David Foster Wallace
No natural feelings are high or low, holy or unholy, in themselves. They are all holy when God's hand is on the rein. They all go bad when they set up on their own and make themselves into false gods. ~ C.S. Lewis
Religious Diversity quotes by C.S. Lewis
In the midst of the apparent diversity of human affairs, a certain number of primary facts may be discovered, from which all others are derived. ~ Alexis De Tocqueville
Religious Diversity quotes by Alexis De Tocqueville
Look at the most religious areas of the world at present - the Middle East and the United States. These are sick societies, and they're going to get sicker. People are never more dangerous than when they have nothing left to believe in except God. ~ J.G. Ballard
Religious Diversity quotes by J.G. Ballard
It didn't seem to matter that Reagan made his heartfelt endorsements of traditional family values despite being divorced and so alienated from his own children that one of them would write a book about what a rotten father he had been; by the same token, the president's failure to have made regular or even occasional visits to church hardly dimmed his appeal for the resurgent religious right ~ Douglas Brinkley
Religious Diversity quotes by Douglas Brinkley
What is more, I have come to the conclusion that whether or not a person is a religious believer does not matter much. Far more important is that they be a good human being. I ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Religious Diversity quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
Nothing is the same. ~ Silvia Hartmann
Religious Diversity quotes by Silvia Hartmann
Gone is the trust to be placed in oaths; I cannot understand if the gods you swore by then no longer rule, or men live by new standards of what is right. ~ Euripides
Religious Diversity quotes by Euripides
A simpler form of the same objection consists in saying that death ought not to be final, that there ought to be a second chance. I believe that if a million chances were likely to do good, they would be given. ~ C.S. Lewis
Religious Diversity quotes by C.S. Lewis
His lack of condemnatory zeal gave him a reputation in the religious hierarchy that ensured he would always remain a humble teacher in a backwater town. ~ Richard K. Morgan
Religious Diversity quotes by Richard K. Morgan
RBC invited Brad along with a bunch of other nonwhite people to a meeting to discuss the issue. Going around the table, people took turns responding to a request to "talk about your experience of being a minority at RBC." When Brad's turn came he said, "To be honest, the only time I've ever felt like a minority is this exact moment. If you really want to encourage diversity you shouldn't make people feel like a minority. ~ Michael Lewis
Religious Diversity quotes by Michael Lewis
Of course, there is no reconciliation between the theory of evolution by natural selection and the traditional religious view of the origin of the human mind. ~ E. O. Wilson
Religious Diversity quotes by E. O. Wilson
All communication is more or less cross-cultural. We learn to use language as we grow up, and growing up in different parts of the country, having different ethnic, religious, or class backgrounds, even just being male or female - all result in different ways of talking ... ~ Deborah Tannen
Religious Diversity quotes by Deborah Tannen
Faith, then, is not a set of beliefs about the world. It is rather found in the loving embrace of the world. Because the actual existing church has reduced the Crucifixion and Resurrection to religious affirmations held by a certain tribe, rather than expressions of a type of life, the event they testify to has been almost completely eclipsed. ~ Peter Rollins
Religious Diversity quotes by Peter Rollins
More and more people are becoming unable to accept traditional [religious] beliefs. If they think that, apart from these beliefs, there is no reason for kindly behaviour, the results may be needlessly unfortunate. That is why it is important to show that no supernatural reasons are needed to make [people] kind and to prove that only through kindness can the human race achieve happiness. ~ Bertrand Russell
Religious Diversity quotes by Bertrand Russell
As the most religious country of the 18 surveyed, the U.S. also comes in with the highest rates for teen pregnancy and for gonorrhea and syphilis. ~ Gwynne Dyer
Religious Diversity quotes by Gwynne Dyer
Although I strongly believe in individual rights and the rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit, I also recognize that public health and public safety are extremely important in our society. Certain communicable diseases have been largely eradicated by immunization policies in this country. We should not allow those diseases to return by forgoing safety immunization programs for philosophical, religious or other reasons when we have the means to eradicate them. ~ Ben Carson
Religious Diversity quotes by Ben Carson
After a number of events, what is there left but repetition and diminishment? Who wants to go on living? The eccentric, the religious, the artistic (sometimes); those with a false sense of their own worth. Soft cheeses collapse; firm cheeses indurate. Both go mouldy. ~ Julian Barnes
Religious Diversity quotes by Julian Barnes
Catastrophe alone sparks man's salvation. I don't mean in the religious sense, although I guess it is appropriate there, too, because believers agree that salvation comes only after death. It is part of the human near-tragedy that we learn more from loss than from gain. Gain binds us until we stumble and fall into that black pit then we find the spirit of understanding and truth. And if we fall far enough and still persist, we find our salvation. ~ John Kramer
Religious Diversity quotes by John Kramer
My lack of faith in God is not a dilapidated house.
It does not need to be razed to the ground or burned down to cinders.
I refuse to be the wounded woman on a cross
that you crucify with your disapproval like nails;
I will only be the woman who believes in thunderstorms
the same way lightning loves the tops of trees it strikes
every time it gets tired of being pent up in an unforgiving sky,
the only difference is that I believe these are natural weather phenomenons,
not God's belly rumbling or synapses firing.
When my doorway is filled with groups of people
wielding religious conversion pamphlets like crossbows,
I will be the martyr who steps aside to let the arrows
crack through the plaster in my wall instead of piercing my chest.
This is not a eulogy to the believer I could have been.
This is a battle cry to the believer I always have been,
believer in sunsets like splashes of paint, handholding
like willow branches brushing one another, new mornings
after old nights spent drowning in despair, believer
in love as an entire language instead of a single word.
Just because my beliefs align themselves on a different spectrum
does not mean they are the wrong wavelength or color.
And even though I think the universe was created by the Big Bang
instead of a God with magic dust shooting from his fingertips,
my universe does not contain fewer stars. ~ Meggie Royer
Religious Diversity quotes by Meggie Royer
The great lesson is, that unity is behind all. Call it God, Love, Spirit. Allah, Jehovah - it is the same unity that animates all life from the lowest animal to the noblest man. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Religious Diversity quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Trials can be hard, if you don't know God. ~ Al Green
Religious Diversity quotes by Al Green
Tears that are shed in time of affliction are rarely tears of penitence, but more likely they are shed out of self pity and pain or sorrow. ~ John Calvin
Religious Diversity quotes by John Calvin
Every religious tradition on which we draw has a reverence for life. We are a part of an intricate web of life. Every tradition on which we draw teaches that the ultimate expression of our spirituality is our action. Deep spirituality leads to action in the world. A deep reverence for life, love of nature's complex beauty and sense of intimate connection with the cosmos leads inevitably to a commitment to work for environmental and social justice. ~ Peter Morales
Religious Diversity quotes by Peter Morales
Religious fanaticism is the most dangerous form of insanity. ~ Robert Graves
Religious Diversity quotes by Robert Graves
They shared much with Bloomsbury, including love of beauty, companionship, and conversation, but they differed from their older London counterpart in their religious ardor, their social conservatism, and their embrace of fantasy, myth, and (mostly) conventional literary techniques instead of those dazzling experiments with time, character, narrative, and language that mark the modernist aesthetic. ~ Philip Zaleski
Religious Diversity quotes by Philip Zaleski
representation
is vital
otherwise the butterfly
surrounded by a group of moths
unable to see itself
will keep trying to become the moth
- representation ~ Rupi Kaur
Religious Diversity quotes by Rupi Kaur
There are men who think themselves too wise to be religious. ~ Samuel Richardson
Religious Diversity quotes by Samuel Richardson
On September 11, the murders of World Trade Center employees and visitors took the lives of numerous nationalities, ethnic groups and religious followers. ~ Cliff Stearns
Religious Diversity quotes by Cliff Stearns
Muslim immigrants like himself encounter prejudice here [in U.S.] but also find political and religious freedom. ~ Tom Gjelten
Religious Diversity quotes by Tom Gjelten
If you're not critical about your history, that can be a problem because there are religious leaders, politicians and all kinds of powerful people who can take advantage of a population that isn't really thinking. ~ Jose Gonzalez
Religious Diversity quotes by Jose Gonzalez
A great woe underpinning the sorrows of the world today is this: so many people think they are far better than others and they are too righteous than others, and they know far better than others, and such thoughts give them reasons for an otherwise action! ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Religious Diversity quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
