“Children are the boldest philosophers. They enter life naked, not covered by the smallest fig leaf of dogma, absolutes, creeds. This is why every question they ask is so absurdly naïve and so frighteningly complex.” ChildrenPhilosophyAsksAbsolutesComplexesPhilosopherNakedCoveredCreedsDogmaSmallestLeafsFigs Author:Yevgeny Zamyatin
“Isn't atheism just another religion?' No, it isn't. Atheism has no creeds, rituals, holy book, absolute moral code, origin myth, sacred spaces or shrines. It has no sin, divine judgment, forbidden words, prayer, worship, prophecy, group privileges, or anointed 'holy' leaders. Atheists don't believe in a transcendent world or supernatural afterlife. Most important, there is no orthodoxy in atheism.” WorldBelieveImportantBookPrayerSinSpaceLeaderMoralGroupsAtheismDivineHolyJudgmentWorshipAbsolutesSacredDon't BelieveAtheistPrivilegeMythCodeRitualAfterlifeCreedsProphecyForbiddenOrthodoxyTranscendentShrinesMoral CodeHoly BooksSacred Space Author:Dan Barker
“My first fundamental premise of our faith is that God is real and so are eternal truths and values not provable by current scientific methods. These ideas are inevitably linked. Like other believers, we proclaim the existence of the ultimate lawgiver, God our Eternal Father, and the existence of moral absolutes. We reject the moral relativism that is becoming the unofficial creed of much of modern culture.” FirstsIdeasRealValuesCultureFatherExistenceMoralModernBecomingEternalUltimateAbsolutesMethodFundamentalsCurrentsBelieverRejectsCreedsLinkedPremisesScientific MethodRelativismAbsolutismModern CultureMoral RelativismGod Is Real Author:Dallin H.

“The arrogant elimination of the Djaouts of our world must nerve us to pursue our own combative doctrine, namely: that peaceful cohabitation on this planet demands that while the upholders of any creed are free to adopt their own existential absolutes, the right of others to do the same is thereby rendered implicit and sacrosanct. Thus the creed of inquiry, of knowledge and exchange of ideas, must be upheld as an absolute, as ancient and eternal as any other.” WorldIdeasPlanetsDemandEternalAbsolutesAncientDoctrinePursuePeacefulOur WorldNervesArrogantCreedsExistentialInquiryEliminationImplicitCohabitation Author:Wole Soyinka

“All religions are equal to me. And all castes and creeds are dear to me. But though I appreciate all `isms,' religions and political parties for the many good things they seek to achieve, I do not and cannot belong to any of these `isms,' religions or political parties, for the Absolute Truth, while equally including them, transcends all of them and leaves no room for separative divisions which are all equally false.” WisdomSpiritualPoliticalRoomsPartyAchieveEqualAppreciateAbsolutesGood ThingsIncludingDearDivisionCreedsPolitical PartiesAbsolute TruthIsmsCastes Author:Meher Baba
