Have a humble heart & an open-mind and you’ll soon be given glimpses beyond the veil of your beliefs and understandings… growing wiser, and believing deeper.

Don’t believe everything you repeat in your mind!

It is a belief of the mediocre that extreme effort kills.

Often the truth is in front of your face, but your eyes and heart are so full of lies that you can’t see it.

All religions lead to the same God, and all deserve the same respect. Anyone who chooses a religion is also choosing a collective way for worshipping and sharing the mysteries. Nevertheless, that person is the only one responsible for his or her actions along the way and has no right to shift responsibility for any...

I had a standing agreement with god. I’d agree to believe in him, barely, so long as he let me sleep in on Sundays.

How you look at it is pretty much how you’ll see it

Lies don’t make you happy. They just make you lie about being happy.

Everything is true for the person who believes it to be true.

Beliefs are conclusions reached by men who are lazy to think for themselves.

Don’t water your testimony with your righteous expectations of church members. Their imperfection will disappoint you every time and cause you to leave every church you try to join.

I have always found the hardest mind to change is one that is religious.

Sometimes you have to look past a person’s mistakes to see God’s presence.

Think about it for a second:Babies are not born prejudice, they are not racist,they don’t hate, they don’t judge, and are not born believing in christianity, buddhism, sikhism, hinduism, judaism or any other ism.We, as adults, teach them all these things.

A long time ago people believed that the world is flat and the moon is made of green cheese. Some still do, to this day. The man on the moon is looking down and laughing.

Insanity is everyone expecting you not to fall apart when you find out everything you believed in was a lie.

The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie.

Sometimes you can’t figure out the truth because you’re asking people that are emotionally or socially invested in you to be brutally honest. Often family or friends will tell you what you want to hear, or what they want to believe because of their emotional investment in the situation. Instead of circling the drain with...

To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. The freedom to criticize ideas, any ideas – even if they are sincerely held beliefs – is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say...

With the right Mindset…effective thinking is automatic.

Reasonableness is a matter of degree. Beliefs can be very reasonable (Japan exists), fairly reasonable (quarks exist), not unreasonable (there’s intelligent life on other planets) or downright unreasonable (fairies exist).There’s a scale of reasonableness, if you like, with very reasonable beliefs near the top and deeply unreasonable ones towards the bottom. Notice a belief can...

At every period of history, people have believed things that were just ridiculous, and believed them so strongly that you risked ostracism or even violence by saying otherwise. If our own time were any different, that would be remarkable. As far as I can tell it isn’t.

Words reveal your beliefs and intentions. Actions reveal your character. When they are in alignment, they reveal your greatest life.

We have successful, strong-willed, independent women who stand up for conservative, traditional values. Women are leading this movement because they’ve been raised to be unafraid….I didn’t grow up feeling oppressed. I didn’t grow up feeling like a victim.

God’s word is not just to be heard and repeated, it is to be breathed, lived, and emulated with each action.

If you want to know what your true beliefs are- take a look at your actions.

[I]t kind of terrified me to imagine myself spending the rest of my life tinkering on the margins of the small arguments.

When it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies. Because, you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts.

As I see it the world is undoubtedly in need of a new religion, and that religion must be founded on humanist principles. When I say religion, I do not mean merely a theology involving belief in a supernatural god or gods; nor do I mean merely a system of ethics, however exalted; nor only...

People believe what they want to believe. Even if it isn’t true.

When you hold onto a script that doesn’t serve you, you leave no space to write a new one that does.

We can either emphasize those aspects of our traditions, religious or secular, that speak of hatred, exclusion, and suspicion or work with those that stress the interdependence and equality of all human beings. The choice is yours. (22)

A person tends to believe whatever is repeated over and over, whether it is true or not.

I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn’t even know that I’m alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos,...

…into hate, into refusal, against hope and without fear

Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can’t believe impossible things.’I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. There goes the shawl again!

Culture is the sum of the values, beliefs and assumptions of human groups.

I’m not out to disturb anybody’s faith. I happen to be happy and comfortable with a belief system that has a dual deity and operates on a lunar schedule. It suits my needs. If you happen to be happy and comfortable with a belief system that features a single masculine deity and operates on a...

For any single thing of importance, there are multiple reasons.

Hope is a belief in a better tomorrow.,

Your life is your statement to the world representing your values, your beliefs, your dreams.

Most man can think no better than a child! This fact perfectly explains why there are so many funny beliefs!

When will you understand that your childish beliefs mean an absolute nothing in this wild universe! When will you be serious? When will you give up deceiving yourself? When will you stop believing in the tales of old times as if they are true?

Atheistic existentialism, of which I am a representative, declares with greater consistency that if God does not exist there is at least one being whose existence comes before its essence, a being which exists before it can be defined by any conception of it. That being is man….

The difference between my beliefs and having a religious faith is that I am prepared to change my views in light of new evidence, but someone of a religious faith will just stick their fingers in the ears and say: ‘I’m not listening, there’s nothing you can say that will make me change my mind.

If you are noticing your desires are not coming to fruition, it is time to dive into the unconscious world to discover what other belief may be stronger.

When you change what you believe, you change what you do… which changes what you get.

Always find a way to live happily instead of making excuses and pointing fingers. You truly deserve to be happy, and you could surely attain it if you vow to never turn your mind into a shelter for negative thoughts and beliefs.

Negative friends are almost as destructive to your life as your negative thoughts and beliefs.

I think honesty is the most heroic quality one can aspire to.
