Some Thoughts About Religion

From the same website, someone posted some quotes about religion by some famous thinkers. I found them very interesting.

“But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?”
– Mark Twain

“You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”
– Anne Lamott

“If god doesn’t like the way I live, Let him tell me, not you.”
– Unknown

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.”
– Philip K. Dick

“I’m not convinced that faith can move mountains, but I’ve seen what it can do to skyscrapers.”
– Unknown

“If God has spoken, why is the world not convinced?”
– Percy Bysshe Shelley

“No man believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means.”
– George Bernard Shaw

“Faith is deciding to allow yourself to believe something your intellect would otherwise cause you to reject — otherwise there’s no need for faith.”
– Unknown

“When one person suffers a delusion, it is called insanity. When many suffer from a delusion, it is called religion.
– Robert M. Pirsig

“Believing is easier than thinking. Hence so many more believers than thinkers.”
– Bruce Calvert

"Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ’til the end of time! But He loves you."
– George Carlin
