free-thinking

It is not enough to call yourself a 'free thinker' just because you can change your beliefs. A whole mess of people change their beliefs based on what is fashionable rather than what is factual, which, by always following the crowd, would be the complete opposite of the beauty of a free thinker.

Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty.

No text, being human creation, is free from flaws _ it is the human mind that should be conscientious enough to accept their good elements and discard the bad ones.

As nature has uncovered from under this hard shell the seed for which she most tenderly cares - the propensity and vocation to free thinking - this gradually works back upon the character of the people, who thereby gradually become capable of managing freedom; finally, it affects the principles of government, which finds it to its advantage to treat men, who are now more than machines, in accordance with their dignity.

Belief is indeed psychologically important for the human mind of general population, but that belief should be nicely compatible with scientific reasoning, otherwise that belief turns into prejudice, which is never beneficial to the human life.

Psychics, astrology, tarot cards - all these mystical non-sense are signs of a weak mind. Whenever such garbage starts grabbing hold of you, seek the help of a physician or therapist.

In the society of thinking humanity, the natural law of trust should be - In I, I trust.

The human has not one but two births _ first, when a person is born from the mother__ womb, and second, when that person rises from the socio-culturally imposed cocoon of prejudices and ignorance.

We the humans are too tiny to know something so grand as an Eternal Driving Force behind the Universe. Ultimately what would really matter in the development of our species as a whole is, we the humans serving humanity.

I have a little moral trouble with the term __ankind_, as it possesses an innate gender bias, which I cannot approve of, hence, I prefer the term __umanity_ over it, and the term __uman_ over __an_.

The greatest Church is within you, and it is made of love, courage and conscience.

Any scripture that demands irrefutable obedience must be discarded at once.

Christ the man died long ago, but Christ the idea of love, still exists, not in any church, rather in the mind of humans.

People fight over religion, because they don't understand religion. They think reading a few Bibles, Qurans and Vedas makes them religious. Books are not religion my friend. Real religion is realization of the Self.

The moment the religious population of the world begins to see the prophets what they really were - mortal teachers of the mortal world, a great portion of the world's religious conflicts shall vanish into thin air.

The majority of India's adult and elderly population is too medieval to think as civilized, rational and progressive human beings.

All of his (Nanak's) progressive thinking attained absolution at the age of 30, when he had the transcendental experience, quite similar to that of Mohammed and Joan of Arc, that was about to rock the very foundation of orthodox Hinduism in India.

Let me tell you something, honey. Fifty percent of life is others trying to push their own agenda on you__heir belief system, their views, their convictions. The other fifty percent is you deciding whether or not you__e going to let them. Or if you__e going to form your own opinions.-Miss Velma
