"Religion is first and foremost about worship of a being referred to as God, or Allah, or some other name, where said God has created man in his image. It’s a set of rules to live by, created around a social gathering where you worship. It gives people structure, organization, and a social group of people who all believe the same. But worship is directed through the church, and deviation from how the church says things should be is punished. They preach love, and practice intolerance of everyone who does not belong to their faith, usually without being aware of it."

Okay, first off let me say that there's no guarantee that all of these quotes are genuine. And I dont really care, quite frankly. This blog is devoted to quotes, good quotes containing good ideas that make sense of some sort to me. I call them "quotes" because they don't come from my own head, but from other sources, and I have a passion for accuracy (or something like that). Also, 'cause I sure do love me some quotes.
Sure, it's silly to require some sort of Authority to validate good words and thoughts (assuming the quote is real, of course), but that doesn't make the words and thoughts any the less for that. So I put them here, in this blog, for my own reference and the edification of passers-by.
