Blind Faith Quotes

“Doubt as sin. — Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature — is sin! And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded as sinful. What is wanted are blindness and intoxication and an eternal song over the waves in which reason has drowned.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality

“Trust me, Wilbur. People are very gullible. They'll believe anything they see in print.”
― E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web

“The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.”
― Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack

“Do you know, the only people I can have a conversation with are the Jews? At least when they quote scripture at you they are not merely repeating something some priest has babbled in their ear. They have the great merit of disagreeing with nearly everything I say. In fact, they disagree with almost everything they say themselves. And most importantly, they don't think that shouting strengthens their argument.”
― Iain Pears, The Dream of Scipio

“We are not sheep or cows. God didn’t create fences for us or boundaries to contain our nationalities. Man did. God didn’t draw up religious barriers to separate us from each other. Man did. And on top of that, no father would like to see his children fighting or killing each other. The Creator favors the man who spreads loves over the man who spreads hate. A religious title does not make anyone more superior over another. If a kind man stands by his conscience and exhibits truth in his words and actions, he will stand by God regardless of his faith. If mankind wants to evolve, we must learn from our past mistakes. If not, our technology will evolve without us.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“If all men are made in God's reflection, then why do some people continue to acknowledge only what is in their part of the mirror? If every man was created equal and in the image of God, then how can any man claim that one race is better than another?”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems we're told will always always last
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast."

(History Will Teach Us Nothing)”
― Sting, Nothing Like the Sun

“God seemed to have become a brand, a packaging, and people purchase this trusted brand with such faith and devotion that they no longer care who the vendor is.”
― Justin Villanueva, Conversations with the Light Bearer

“It is debatable whether blind faith is truly faith at all. Faith is the perceptive gray area where scientific facts meet an individual's experiential truths - the extreme of the former is left feeling in the dark whereas the latter is caught blinded by the light. By proper scientific method, it is intellectually dishonest for me to declare the existence of God with utmost certainty, but to my individual spirit, I would be intellectually dishonest to deny the existence of God even for a second. This leaves the best of both worlds, as the believer is called to be able to give reasons for his faith, a deviation from mere fantasy.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“[He] seemed to possess, beneath it all, an immutable sense of self-assurance, but in addition to that, the look of a man ensnared by what he perceived to be his own Duty. A Duty that effervesced inside of him impatiently, dry at the mouth, shaking feverishly, and holding its breath in anticipation for—not his action, but in fact—the fruits of his actions, however distant these may have been. The goal was to satiate its thirst in as few moves as possible, instilling each action with an almost implied necessity for having a motive by which it must exist, which is to say that no action was to be wasted for anything, but only for that which was rooted in some definable and clear-cut purpose...Every action had to be a step in some direction and there could be no dillydallying, for Duty bubbling in the bloodstream for too long brought with it a kind of sickness...from which it was difficult to recover. Neither could there be any reconsideration, for the values to which one has sworn were unassailable and beyond the powers of one individual to reassess. And so, Duty, once instilled, must be allowed to carry on unabated, diverting sustenance away from other aspects of one’s character—driving them to a weakened state, brow-beaten by circumstances beyond their immediate control and relegated to their own downtrodden acquiescence to the bravado of the Parasitic Superego, and, as such, cognizant of their growing superfluity.”
― Ashim Shanker, Don't Forget to Breathe

“The...act of surrender—or devotion, as the case may be—was, to him, a kind of lifeline for those who sought a quick answer and didn’t want to stick around long enough to see their doubt through to its ultimate conclusion. A conclusion, which, of itself, was a bittersweet paradox—for how could doubt simply cease to exist by any stretch of the imagination? Doubt was, nonetheless—from his own perspective—the only inclusive insight into the nature of a Truth exclusive of conditions.”
― Ashim Shanker, Don't Forget to Breathe

“How to tell fascism from democracy?

Look for the state fanatically obsessed with one religion, one culture, one tradition, and there you'll find your own homegrown fascist regime -

and if that happens, you didn't expel the empire, you just replaced white terrorists with colored ones.

Every nation must wash its own dirty laundry - a nation is not free until every last stubborn stain of fanaticism is scrubbed out of the social fabric, with the detergent of reason and the spirit of integration.”

“Clinical Symptoms of Fascism
(Earthlog 3232-3233)

The british and americans made an unparalleled career out of fascism, by invading, extorting, and erasing, but fascism is not white or colored, every country has its fascist elements, because fascism is one of the common animal elements of human nature.

That is why, if you think, end of the empire was the end of fascism, you couldn't be more brainlessly wrong - in modern times, the enemies of a country lurk within its own democratically elected government, rather than come from outside.

“The God Song
(Sonnet 3234-3235)

I saw the priest promoting faith,
and saw the scientist talking science,
politicians selling purity,
saw the yogis fake divine.

Science of apes first serve the rich,
and god of apes first serve the rich,
technology first serve the rich,
democracy first serve the rich,

and that is what you call advancement,
rest of world is afterthought -
such advancement, no advancement,
such religion kills the god.

God is not a prison warden,
god is not a psycho twit -
god is not in whirling motion,
neither in fancy retreat;

proof of sacred, not obedience,
less we holy, more the walls -
every wall political product,
nation-state is circus hall.

Ape religion count the converts,
ape democracy count the corpse;
tear the walls of "holy see",
for every heart is seat of God.”

“It's A Naskarful World
(Sonnet 3251/ Song 12)

What good is one Naskar,
burn with me hand in hand.
Naskar is not what you read,
Naskar is how you stand.

I don't want more sheep,
I don't want another cult,
you just be the Naskar
of your corner of the World.

Teach your child, your nation is great,
and you plant the seed of war.
Teach your child, the planet is nation,
plant peace against the law.

Father and Son are one,
Son and I are one,
I and You are one,
divide is delusion.

Take your tallest church steeples,
take your largest congress halls,
they still won't reach my ankle.
nor contain a Naskarful World.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Jashn-e Insan: Stranger is God, Helping is the Prayer

“When you repeatedly teach a child,
this is your country, not that -
this is your religion, not that -
this is your culture, not that -
you brainwash them into closet terrorist.”

“I was born without a status,
without a holy claim,
no guardian angel backing,
no empire to my name.

I outgrew the fraud of flag,
I surpassed the hoax of hate,
I am festival of life,
not disciple of the dead.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Jashn-e Insan: Stranger is God, Helping is the Prayer

“You cannot have a brain and chain it.
You cannot have a spine and bend it.

“Be mindful of your place in society - not above the people, but above the government - not above justice, but above the police - not above life, but above the law - not above rights, but above religion.”
