“Religious dogma creates a perfect fertilizer for the weeds of hypocrisy.”
“A fertile mind may still produce many weeds.”
“The truth, however, is that the conflict between religion and science is unavoidable. The success of science often comes at the expense of religious dogma; the maintenance of religious dogma always comes at the expense of science.”
“The leader acknowledges and eradicates the weeds in the garden, but keeps vision on the beauty they are creating and not on the weeds they are destroying”
“The essence of a religious approach to the world, it seems to me, is to be found, not in the imposition of theological dogma, but in the recognition of what is actually there.”
“Old religious dogma attempts to convince you that you are on a journey to God, then makes you pay tolls along that roadway.”
