Doctrines, no matter which path of human endeavor they come from, must serve the humans, not the humans serving the doctrines. __ove thy neighbor_ - is a great doctrine, but more importantly, it is an unparalleled piece of magnificent human teaching _ as such, whoever practices it, becomes a better human, a real human. On the other hand, there is another doctrine that says __od may purify the believers and destroy the disbelievers_ _ now would you, as a real conscientious human being, consider this one as a great beneficial doctrine or teaching for humanity? Far from being great, doctrines like this are the ones that compel the human society to forget its innate humanism.

You must remember, the so-called Jihadis who are in reality, mentally unstable individuals run by Quranic fundamentalists, do not represent the whole Muslim population of the world.

Terrorism is born of fundamentalism not of religion.

Being homosexual is no more abnormal than being lefthanded.

Come my friend. Come and walk with me in the path ahead that awaits you with open arms _ the path of humanism _ the path where every pedestrian is simply a human, not a Christian, Jew, Hindu, Muslim, Atheist, Mexican, American, Canadian, British, Australian, Russian, Asian, African, European or anything else.

We no longer have any time to waste, entertaining our dark side. It is time we recognize those evil elements of our internal world and start working untiringly on eradicating them.

Only fools neglect the living God _ the Human Self, while running after imaginary shadows.

Together you are a species that grows in all aspects of life _ separated you are a mere speck of dust in vast ocean of space-time capable of nothing progressive.

When one attains self-knowledge, distinctions of race and religion vanish.

Humanism is not a pompous philosophy to be talked and debated about by a handful of intellectuals - it is the purest form of moral compass, which defines the civilized heart of thinking humanity.

Real religion does not mean Gods - it does not mean Angels and Demons - it does not mean miracles of healing. Real religion is all about you and your fellow humans. There is nothing else.

Homosexuals are not made, they are born.

Rise to become human again, my friend. Become the human, that talks humans, acts humans and lives human.

Accepting evil is worse than committing evil.

Accepting evil is worse than committing evil. You must _ I repeat _ you must, as a human being, stand up on the side of humanism, against barbarian inhumanism, for it is your action, that shall determine whether your children shall live in a world of peace and harmony or a world of chaos and discriminations.

Modern society is modern because of its mental cocktail of reasoning and compassion. Turn the compassion network in the brain off, and it will be a society of heartless robots. On the other hand, turn the reasoning network off, and it will be a society of dumb sentimental apes.

Discriminations are never a sign of a civilized society. What makes us civilized is our act of liberated kindness with other people beyond the man-made primitive citadels of gender, race, religion and sexual orientation.

What is natural, needs to be looked upon, scrutinized and reshaped by each generation of the world, to make it compatible with the path of progress of a civilized society.
