“Israel, and you who call yourself Israel, the Church that calls itself Israel, and the revolt that calls itself Israel, and every nation chosen to be a nation - none of these lands is yours, all of you are thieves of holiness, all of you at war with Mercy.” WarReligionNationsChurchLandMercyIsraelChosenHolinessThievesRevolt Book:Book of Mercy Source: Book of Mercy
“[The church] is in its major part an opponent still of progress and improvement in all the ways that diminish suffering in the world, because it has chosen to label as morality a certain narrow set of rules of conduct which have nothing to do with human happiness; and when you say that this or that ought to be done because it would make for human happiness, they think that has nothing to do with the matter at all. "What has human happiness to do with morals? The object of morals is not to make people happy.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayHumansStillsMatterDoneCertainSufferingChurchMoralProgressObjectsOughtMoralityMajorsImprovementChosenLabelsOpponentsDiminishMaking People HappyHuman Happiness Book:Why I Am Not a Christian Source: Why I Am Not a Christian
“Indian spirituality, proclaimed that the true Godhead was beyond number and count; that it had many manifestations which did not exclude or repel each other but included each other, and went together in friendship; that it was approached in different ways and through many symbols; that it resided in the hearts of its devotees. Here there were no chosen people, no exclusive prophethoods, no privileged churches and fraternities and ummas. The message was subversive of all religions based on exclusive claims.” PeopleWayHeartDifferentTogetherSpiritualityChurchNumbersMessagesClaimsChosenSymbolsIndianManifestationDifferent WaysPrivilegedExclusiveSubversiveFraternityDevotee Book:Hindu View of Christianity and Islam Source: Hindu View of Christianity and Islam
