Religious Sects Quotes

• El conocimiento y la libertad prevalecen tanto en este país que no creo que los Estados Unidos estén dispuestos a establecer una secta religiosa y someter a todas las demás a impedimentos legales. Pero como no sabemos lo que puede ocurrir en el futuro, y cualquier prueba de ese tipo sería sumamente perjudicial para los derechos de los ciudadanos libres, no creo que sea del todo superfluo agregar una cláusula que nos proteja de la posibilidad de tal opresión.

  Oliver Wolcott

• Millones de hombres, mujeres y niños inocentes, desde la introducción del cristianismo, han sido quemados, torturados, multados y encarcelados; sin embargo, no hemos avanzado ni una pulgada hacia la uniformidad. ¿Cuál ha sido el efecto de la coerción?

• Puede que no sea fácil, en todos los casos posibles, trazar la línea de separación entre los derechos de la religión y la autoridad civil con tanta claridad como para evitar colisiones y dudas sobre puntos no esenciales. La tendencia a la extralimitación de una u otra parte, o a una coalición o alianza corruptora entre ellas, se evitará mejor mediante la abstención total del Gobierno de toda injerencia de cualquier tipo, más allá de la necesidad de preservar el orden público y proteger a cada secta contra las violaciones de sus derechos legales por parte de otras.

• Religion shows a pattern of heredity which I think is similar to genetic heredity. ... There are hundreds of different religious sects, and every religious person is loyal to just one of these. ... The overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one their parents belonged to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained-glass, the best music when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing compared to the matter of heredity.

• Of publishing a book on religion, my dear sir, I never had an idea. I should as soon think of writing for the reformation of Bedlam, as of the world of religious sects. Of these there must be, at least, ten thousand, every individual of every one of which believes all wrong but his own.

• Nostalgia is also a trait of the organizations that I call lodges - everything from corporate cultures to religious sects. Their bonding power often exceeds loyalty to family or country because they create intimacy through shared ideals and beliefs, ceremonies, stories, and legends, and depend on it for their survival. The message is clear: Don't question what we're doing. Just appreciate how long we've been doing it.

• El error más grave que puede cometer una persona pensante es creer que una versión concreta de la historia es un hecho absoluto. La historia es registrada por una serie de observadores, ninguno de los cuales es imparcial. Los hechos están distorsionados por el mero paso del tiempo y los miles de años de edad oscura de la humanidad, las tergiversaciones deliberadas de las sectas religiosas y la inevitable corrupción derivada de la acumulación de errores por descuido. La persona sabia, por tanto, ve la historia como un conjunto de lecciones que hay que aprender, opciones y ramificaciones que hay que considerar y debatir, y errores que no deben volver a cometerse.

• We all agree that neither the Government nor political parties ought to interfere with religious sects. It is equally true that religious sects ought not to interfere with the Government or with political parties. We believe that the cause of good government and the cause of religion both suffer by all such interference.

• Every one of the numberless religions and religious sects views the Deity after its own fashion; and, fathering on the unknown its own speculations, it enforces these purely human outgrowths of overheated imagination on the ignorant masses, and calls them "revelation." As the dogmas of every religion and sect often differ radically, they cannot be true. And if untrue, what are they?
