Praying is everything...

Taken at Kushinagar -India by my aunt who's very in-love
with every place she travels and every people she
meets.
In this picture, these are the young buddhist monks
with their teacher and high priest monk ready to
pray inside the buddhist temple.

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. 
God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through. 
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears. 

Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night. 
Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters. 
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads. 

He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife. 
Human beings must be known to be loved; but Divine beings must be loved to be known. 
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. 
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. 
Praying at the temple for enlightenment and his heart's
desire. Taken at Kushinagar-India by Aunt Jem
I don't believe in God but I'm very interested in her. 
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. 
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit. 
Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" Priest: "No, not if you did not know." Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?" 
I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love. 
I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs. 
Born again?! No, I'm not. Excuse me for getting it right the first time. 

I was raised Catholic, but my father's people were Methodist, so we went to both churches. 
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is. 
One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.
