“RELIGION is one's opinion and belief in some ethical truth. To be a Christian is to have the religion of Christ, and so to be a believer of Mohammed is to be a Mohammedan but there are so many religions that every man seems to be a religion unto himself. No two persons think alike, even if they outwardly profess the same faith, so we have as many religions in Christianity as we have believers.” IfsThinkingMenPersonsTwoSeemsChristianBeliefChristChristianityOpinionBelieverEvery ManEthicalGodlyOpinions And Beliefs Book:Philosophy and opinions: Edited by Amy Jacques-Garvey Source: Philosophy and opinions: Edited by Amy Jacques-Garvey

“I regard monotheism as the greatest disaster ever to befall the human race. I see no good in Judaism, Christianity, or Islam - good people, yes, but any religion based on a single, well, frenzied and virulent god, is not as useful to the human race as, say, Confucianism, which is not a religion but an ethical and educational system.” PeopleHumansWellsReligionRaceChristianityAtheismRegardIslamEducationalDisasterHuman RaceEthicalGood PeopleJudaismEducational SystemConfucianismMonotheism Author:Gore Vidal
