Guest guest Posted January 31, 2000 Report Share Posted January 31, 2000 From a talk given by Swami Vivekananda in London in 1896 " Now can religion stand these tests (of being rational)? If there be any religious theories which can stand these tests they will be acceptable to the modern mind, to the thinking mind. Any other theory which we ask the modern man to believe, on the authority of priests, or churches or books, he is unable to accept; and the result is a hideous mass of unbelief. Even in those in whom there is an external display of belief, in their hearts there is a tremendous amount of unbelief. The rest shrink away from religion, as it were, give it up, regarding it as priestcraft only " . How prophetic are these words !!....jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
