Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.
Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.
If there were more temple work done in the Church, there would be less of selfishness, less of contention, less of demeaning others.
Religion brings to man an inner strength, spiritual light, and ineffable peace.
The man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there, and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise.
Religions tend to disappear with man's good fortune.
There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he lives his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.
A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one's religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.
