Religious Doctrines Quotes

Men may believe what they cannot prove. They may not be put to the proof of their religious doctrines or beliefs. Religious experiences which are as real as life to some may be incomprehensible to others Picture Quote #1

Religions have always stressed that compassion is not only central to religious life, it is the key to enlightenment and it the true test of spirituality. But there have always have been those who’d rather put easier goals, like doctrine conformity, in place Picture Quote #1

If the truth of religious doctrines is dependent on an inner experience that bears witness to the truth, what is one to make of the many people who do not have that experience? Picture Quote #1

Religious doctrines … are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider them as true or to believe in them Picture Quote #1
