“A religion, even if it calls itself a religion of love, must be hard and unloving to those who do not belong to it.”

“There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions.”

“Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.”

“Religion must use law to empower itself and control the people who they need in order to survive.”

“The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.”

“Faith belongs to the human spirit. Faith is faith. Humanity is divided by religion, religion is the divider of humanity. If every human could be removed of their blindfolds and see that faith is in itself faith and that this is something which belongs to each and every human being, then at that time the dividers of religion will suddenly mean nothing and we will all see that we are united by faith in and of itself. There is only one faith and it is called faith. And no man needs to prove to another man that what he believes in exists, because even if it does not exist, his faith is his belief that it is there, that something is there, and that in itself is faith. So I do not need to prove to any man that what I believe in exists or not, there is no such contest between man, my faith breathes in the body of my belief; the fact that I believe is the breath of my faith.”
