I hope you like these quotes about Anguish from the collection at Life Quotes and Sayings.
Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man
... living in the sky. Who watches everything you do
every minute of every day. And the invisible man
has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do.
And if you do any of these things,
he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire
and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever,
and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream,
until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you.
He loves you and he needs money.

you have to find your innermost core on your own,
with no guide, no guiding scriptures.

has found the sunrise.

they are simply avoiding the great adventure
of religion by believing.
