The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology Quotes

“Faith is A Private Pill (Sonnet) Faith is a private pill, not public law; belief is a personal mechanism, not a mandate. I am not a religious figure, but a human one; only gospel I offer is the gospel of tolerance. I stand not to dehumanize, but to dedogmatize, yet to entitled bigots it always feels dehumanizing. In my world, science is philosophy is theology is poetry, beyond the grasp of your fractured compartmentalizing. Ivory tower of belief and ivory tower of logic, are both equally antithetical to life's delicacies. We gotta bring belief down from the sky into the soil, and logic down from the tower onto the streets. Live deeply, love madly, indulge moderately; remember, vengeance is not power, but paralysis. Love is not an emotion, love is existence; tolerance is not a faculty, it's consciousness.”

“Keep god or not as you need, convert to whatever you like. There is no other grand design, except a beautiful human mind. What you believe or don't is of no consequence, one true god or another. Imaginary friends are often therapeutic, just don't thrust your friend on another.”
