If you are on the Path, and see the Buddha walking toward you, kill him.


Allen Greenfield

The excesses and atrocities of organized religion have no bearing whatsoever on the existence of God, just as the threat of nuclear proliferation has no bearing on the questions of whether E=mc2.


Varghese

Micah 1:8 -- Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.

Like all religious people, Christians repress, remember, and retell their core stories selectively. They emphasize this episode at the expense of that episode, in keeping with their own biases and the preoccupations of their times.


Stephen R. Prothero

If religion is about the sacred as opposed to the profane, the spirit as opposed to matter, the Creator as opposed to the created, Confucianism plainly does not qualify. But perhaps what we are to learn from this tradition is not that Confucianism is not a religion but that not all religious people parse the sacred and the secular the way Christians do.


Stephen R. Prothero

ولسوء الحظ, فإن العنف- في كل أشكاله الناعمة والدامية- يكاد أن يكون أحد أهم المآلات التي لابد أن ينتهي إليها الخطاب الرامي إلي تديين السياسة. ويتفرع ذلك عن حقيقة أن التفكير في السياسة أو ممارستها بالدين, يحيلها إلي جملة مطلقات سوف يجد البعض أن لا سبيل لتسكينها في الواقع- علي فرض إمكان ذلك- إلا بالإكراه والقسر. وعلي الدوام, فإنه يبقي أن العبرة هي بالمصائر والمآلات التي تقتضيها أنظمة الخطابات, وليست بالمقاصد والنيات التي تسكن نفوس الأفراد

Sexuality is more a symptom of your life's condition than a cause, more a consequence than an origin.

Die Sache mit dem Sündenbock funktionierte wirklich, als noch religiöse Kraft dahinterstand. Man lud dem Ziegenbock die Sünden der Stadt auf und trieb ihn hinaus, und die Stadt war gereinigt. Es funktionierte, weil alle, einschließlich der Götter, wussten, wie das Ritual zu verstehen war. Dann starben die Götter, und plötzlich musste man die Stadt ohne göttliche Hilfe reinigen. Statt Symbolen waren richtige Taten gefragt. Der Zensor war geboren, im römischen Sinn. Wachsamkeit hieß die Parole: Die Wachsamkeit aller allen gegenüber. Reinigung wurde ersetzt durch Säuberungsaktionen.


J.M. Coetzee
