I like this quote from the Dalai Lama |
|
Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 10:03 PM by Goathead
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
and this one from Jefferson:
Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one. -Thomas Jefferson
and this one from Nietzsche:
In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point. -Friedrich Nietzsche

I'm sure the sensitive Christians will be flaming for you demeaning their oh-so-persecuted faith, but what the hell. Screw 'em.

as a non-practicing, disenchanted catholic, these quotes sum up perfectly how I have felt at various times in my life.

5. My favorite Dalai Lama quote |
|
Believe nothing. No matter where you read it, who has said it, even if I said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your common sense.
