Religion may become a fashion as well as anything else; and, when it does become so, it has as little to do, in those who thus hold it, with the heart and the character as any other fashion.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fashion is almost like a religion, for me at least.
I just think religion is something... It could be a beautiful thing for the individual, but when it becomes organized, that's when religion starts taking a kind of ugly turn to me.
True character arises from a deeper well than religion.
The only difference is that religion is much better organised and has been around much longer, but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.
Religion has become so many different things. Religion is an economic thing for some people. Religion is a gun.
Faith in God... produces character; character will produce courage, courage to face the challenges of the day.
Religion is man's attempt to bind himself back to a relationship with God.
Religion is many things, but one of them, surely, is a way for adults to indulge in uncritical hero worship.
Religion of any form is a sacred matter. It involves the relation of the individual to some Being believed to be infinitely supreme. It involves not merely character and life here, but destiny hereafter, and as such is not to be spoken of lightly or flippantly.
Religion brings to man an inner strength, spiritual light, and ineffable peace.
