Often pastors as well as my fellow scientists ask me - are you a believer or non-believer - I smile and reply, all I care about is to abolish the barriers that people have raised among themselves. I work to create living Christs in every field of society to take care of every corner of the world.

In reality, religion is not a system of following doctrines at all. If anything, it is about not following any doctrine and finding out things for yourself.

When someone assumes a two thousand year old book to be perfection, there is no reasoning with such a person.

A person has flaws but Jesus has none, quite like the images of models on billboards - you know why, because both images are doctored to sell a product - in case of the models, it's some cosmetic or some apparel, and in case of Jesus, it's religion.

When popes and pundits sell faith in the name of divine supremacy, rigidity overrules common sense, and reason is hailed as blasphemy.

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.

I never attempt to take away people’s God from them, because that God is associated with a lot of human sentiments in the human psyche that act as fuel in daily survival. If you try to take away some hungry man’s stale bread, he would fight back, but if you give him something healthier and more substantial than the bread, then he would throw away the bread himself and accept your better food. The same is for God.

God is the placebo for the masses, it may solve trivial problems of society, but to treat the big issues, what is required is actual medicine, that is, actual, tangible human intervention.

A belief is your brain’s self-maintenance mechanism.
