Religious Control Quotes

I don’t know what religious people do. I kind of wished I’d been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist, you feel like you have more control over the situation, and that you can change your karma Picture Quote #1

I mean, I really don’t want the federal government to be determining whether or not a person who feels certain ways about the environment or about animals or about certain religious issues should be considered an extremist. That to me is a type of thought control, mind control, which is very dangerous Picture Quote #1

In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you’re a moderate on abortion, if you’re a moderate on gun control, or if you’re a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn’t evolve into a crusade where you’re either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us Picture Quote #1

All religious leaders and spiritual teachers emphasize finding a place within us that is true. People who obsessively follow these leaders instead of their own purpose attach to the spiritual leader and become fanatical and controlling. That’s why Jesus tried to tell his followers not to get attached to outward form Picture Quote #1

The power of the American system of republicanism lies in its capacity to allow religious belief to be a competing, not a controlling, factor in American life Picture Quote #1

In my opinion, the battles over birth control and Planned Parenthood are primarily neither political nor religious. This is an issue of equality for women. This is an issue of women’s rights: Planned Parenthood is the most important private provider of reproductive health care for women in the United States Picture Quote #1

We religious controllers control in the name of Jesus and it is really painful to people Picture Quote #1

Liberty is the prevention of control by others. This requires self-control and, therefore, religious and spiritual influences; education, knowledge, well-being Picture Quote #1

While nobody has identified any gene for religion, there are certainly some candidate genes that may influence human personality and confer a tendency to religious feelings. Some of the genes likely to be involved are those which control levels of different chemicals called neurotransmitters in the brain Picture Quote #1

For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death (or of anything else) as natural, death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied Picture Quote #1

It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control Picture Quote #1

Religious ritual is a way of structuring time so that we, not employers, the market or the media, are in control. Life needs its pauses, its chapter breaks, if the soul is to have space to breathe Picture Quote #1
