Fundamentalism Quotes

“Everybody has imaginary friends, My imaginary friend is my late teacher, And I find it therapeutic to talk to him, Whenever I hit rock bottom during disaster. Quite like air, water and food, It's something we humans need to survive. Last thing this world needs is more war to prove whose imaginary friend bears the greatest of might.”

“Chrismadan (The Sonnet) What happens when two ancient cultures come together! They create a spectacular specimen called dervish advaitin. When mistletoe and menorrah combine, heart shines brighter, Beyond belief 'n disbelief, there's a land most enlightening. Keep your outdated sectarian identities to yourself, I am Jewistian, Hinduslim, or simply Human Universal. Be the next civilized step of humankind's evolution, Not just another savage vessel of mistakes ancestral. Revitalized by Ramadan, humanized by Christmas, Let's celebrate Chrismadan, as well as Hanukkawali. Instead of carrying on as second-hand savages, Habibi come, let us start living with humanity! When all religions combine, a modern human is born. Without integration there is no dawn, just endless mourn.”

“Unless you know how to use facts like a decent human being, you are better off without facts - just like, unless you know how to interpret the scripture like a decent human being, you are better off without a scripture.”

“Elitism & Fundamentalism (The Sonnet) Elitism and fundamentalism, Are both the enemies of progress. Exchanging one bad habit for another, Is not true advancement but regress. Fundamentalists used to fill the world, With the poison of dirty division. Today elitists poison the world, By endorsing snobbery and narcissism. Conscience, courage and compassion, These are the three pillars of progress. Without these all belief is delusion, All glitter is but a sign of coldness. Replace not fundamentalism with elitism. Grow out of selfishness into collectivism.”

“Sonnet of Intolerance Intolerance and religion don't go together, If they do, you are a far cry from being religious. Intolerance and science don't go together, If they do, such science is just modern hogwash. Intolerance and philosophy don't go together, If they do, you are a dickhearted intellectualist. Intolerance and humanism don't go together, If they do, you are a far cry from being humanist. Intolerance and intellect don't go together, If they do, such intellect is all blade, no handle. Intolerance and wisdom don't go together, If they do, you are but a sophisticated vandal. Anything that is civilized helps abolish intolerance, If it doesn't, it is yet another prehistoric nuisance.”

“Science and Religion (The Sonnet) Science and Religion have no feud, Both are expressions of naturalism. The real feud has been between, Intellectualism and fundamentalism. Facts help us take the world forward, Reason helps us treat primitiveness. But facts and reason alone won't do, Without warmth all matter is lifeless. Of course there are flaws in religion, In science too there's greed and bigotry. If in religion we have extremist nuts, We also have plenty of scientific bully. Instead of picking on each other's mistake, Let us be human across intellect and faith.”

“Divinity for Sale (The Sonnet) When a book becomes religion, And doctrines become divinity, Holiness remains speculation, Society loses sight of humanity. When institutions claim authority, And sleeping masses comply, Religion disappears altogether, What remains is potential gone awry. When popes and pundits sell faith, In the name of divine supremacy, Rigidity overrules common sense, And reason is hailed as blasphemy. But there is a cure for all this atrocity. It is called individual curiosity.”

“Once upon a time there was a wealthy king. He had a huge garden and he employed two gardeners to take care of it. One of them was absolutely useless - he would lazily spend all his time without doing a single work around the garden, but whenever his master visited, he would simply usher him with praise. The other gardener was a humble fellow and rather a quiet one. He didn't talk much, but he worked the whole day taking care of the garden and grew all sorts of beautiful flowers and fruits. Now who do you think would be most beloved to the king! Many people call this king God, I call it nature. And one who takes care of the children of the king is more beloved to the king than the one who does nothing but talks highly of the king.”

“The only way you can see someone turn water into wine without resorting to trickery is if you are already drunk.

“A creature that values human life above everything else, is a human, all others are animals… A scientist who shouts at a layperson, "I don't care what you believe" - is an animal. A preacher who shouts at a person of different faith, "you are going to hell, until you accept my God as one true God" - is an animal. A civilian who denies to stay home during a pandemic, shouting "sacrifice the weak and live free" - is an animal. A president who says "white skin is racially superior" - is an animal.”

“There are too many people to speak up for their religion, for their country, for their language and so on, but very few to speak for the humankind. So speak up, for every word that you utter, every action that you take, with humanitarian responsibility, will contribute a great deal in eradicating parts of the discrimination that has polluted our beautiful planet. And if you choose not to speak up and stay deaf, dumb and blind instead, then take this oath - "all bigots, fundamentalists and sectarianists are my bosom friends - I shall always be faithful to them - I shall always stand by them, no matter how inhuman they behave - and I shall always do my best to promote their atrocities by maintaining my silence in the face of prejudice, hatred and inhumanism".”

“In a free society, people may be entitled to their belief, but they are not entitled to bigotry. To the bigots, this may seem like tyranny, but it's an absolute necessity, just like it is absolutely imperative that psychopathic murderers are kept off the streets.”

“Destroy such shining altars that spread bigotry - demolish such glorious churches and temples that proclaim divine supremacy - burn such glistening crucifixes, scriptures and idols that are used to preach weakness and segregation - obliterate every single trace of orthodoxy from the face of this planet, not with violence, but with awareness - and work - work to uplift the downtrodden - work to elevate the impoverished - work to raise those abandoned by fortune and opportunity - only then you shall have the rightful place under the sun as a holy human being.”

“Throw away such intellect that doesn’t bring people together – throw away such scriptures that create walls rather than bridges – throw away such institutions that proclaim exclusive authority over divinity – throw away such reasoning that barres you from accepting human weakness. Throw away every single trace of inhumanity, regardless of their intellectual or non-intellectual grounds. Intellect without humanity, is as dangerous as religious fundamentalism.”

“Dependency on drugs is quite easily proclaimed by the so-called intellectual society as lethal, while that very society has been ever-lastingly dependent upon varied forms of ideologies, be it religious, atheistic, political or any other. They say, “don’t do drugs for it’s dangerous for you”, but they never say, “don’t do ideology for it’s dangerous for your society”.”

“We don't have the luxury to say that, there is no hope for reform in Islam, because by saying this, we would be disavowing the entire peace-loving Muslim population of the world. We cannot leave our Muslim sisters and brothers behind to be oppressed by their own priestly tyrants, while the rest of the world keeps progressing with an open mind. The entire civilized society of the world, must put their heart and soul to get Islam liberated from the shackles of fundamentalism. Conscience must triumph over orthodox barbarianism, otherwise there would be no hope for the progress and wellbeing of humanity as a truly wise species.”

“Sonnet 1010 Life is but life's religion, Life is but life's philosophy. Books may be a part of life's growth, But no book is handbook to sensibility. Take no book as life's handbook, Believe no being as life's authority. Neither me, nor any other figure, Can be north star to your senility. You are but an electric eel, You don't need second hand electricity. Generate your own electric current, And light up your part of humanity. It is time to end all lies of authoritarianism, And take the leap of living faith across divisionism.”

“So this is where all the vapid talk about the 'soul' of the universe is actually headed. Once the hard-won principles of reason and science have been discredited, the world will not pass into the hands of credulous herbivores who keep crystals by their sides and swoon over the poems of Khalil Gibran. The 'vacuum' will be invaded instead by determined fundamentalists of every stripe who already know the truth by means of revelation and who actually seek real and serious power in the here and now. One thinks of the painstaking, cloud-dispelling labor of British scientists from Isaac Newton to Joseph Priestley to Charles Darwin to Ernest Rutherford to Alan Turing and Francis Crick, much of it built upon the shoulders of Galileo and Copernicus, only to see it casually slandered by a moral and intellectual weakling from the usurping House of Hanover. An awful embarrassment awaits the British if they do not declare for a republic based on verifiable laws and principles, both political and scientific.”
