“Anyone - your daddy or mine, your ancestor or mine, your god or mine - who bays for blood of "infidels" is an a***ole. And non-divine.”
“All humans are rogues. Cured only by death.”
“If you're born a man, be a man. If a woman, be proud of being one. For, you're not the body, mind, this or that. "Ye are gods!" - human.”
“There is no god out there but Oneness of All That Is.”
“Any silly ism or stupid book that considers men above women, must be shunned like a lowlife demon. For, all's one, barring none.”
“Even the Master, in one way or another, is a student throughout life.”
“You be good. That's your business. The rest, leave to God. That's his business.”
“Fools follow foolishly their imaginary lookalikes as god. Such silly follies exist not. Seek 'What Is'. And is not.”
“I plan to live my own way. Hopefully, it is as per God's Way.”
“If your believed in book-told god is a silly sod, you too are.”
“Do your best, then put your feet on the table, and to God leave the rest.”
“Humans are mostly kind only to their own-self, and their own. To another being, they're mostly indifferent, if not inhumane.”
“The 'Big Bang' idea of pseudo armchair pundits, too is as much a theory as a human-like big buffoon, that your so-called 'holy' books call god.”
“Humble yourself, before you are.”
“I've known humans, and I know beasts. The beast is better. It is unpretentious. It kills for food. Humans do 'cause they're just not any good.”
“Truth respects no ism.”
“Killing or eating animals is an act of beasts. Stirs within the devil. Sorry. It spurs evil. Thus is truth - at least the metaphysical.”
“Any religion that cannot stand up to a modern scientific reasoning, and to rational proof, is asinine”
“Live joyfully this life. Once gone, who knows if we ever get it back. Atheists think we do not. Mystics say you will. Either way, chill.”
“Little people make tall claims. As being this-that avatar or messiah. Some even say they're God. Well, if they are, I'm their grand-pop.”
