It's a bit odd that nobody seems to be using the correct technical term to describe organized Islamic terrorists. They are not a faction of a religion or a social movement. They are a cult. A suicide cult.

I never found much comfort in overly organized religion of any sort.

I believe that there is some spiritual entity that's greater than us. I do not belong to any specific organized religion. I have always believed that and I believe it even more so now. I believe that someone was listening to me and someone is giving me an incredibly blessed life.

I decided to take God and organized religion seriously and to reject the secular life which in my teens had looked attractive because it allowed me to act in any way that I wanted.

I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.

Nothing has done more to separate and divide human beings one from another than exclusivist organized religion.

I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.

I see no way out of the problems that organized religion and tribalism create other than humans just becoming more honest and fully aware of themselves.

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion as organized in its Churches has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

I don't necessarily believe in organized religion.

Religion is the organization of spirituality into something that became the hand maiden of conquerors. Nearly all religions were brought to people and imposed on people by conquerors and used as the framework to control their minds.

I record all of my music with authentic instruments in a studio before we start editing doing many many versions. The music shapes the film as we edit so it has an organic relationship to the content.

An organization's reason for being like that of any organism is to help the parts that are in relationship to each other to be able to deal with change in the environment.

Every company has two organizational structures: The formal one is written on the charts the other is the everyday relationship of the men and women in the organization.

The only power deserving the name is that of masses and of governments while they make themselves the organ of the tendencies and instincts of masses.

Whenever we seek to avoid the responsibility for our own behavior we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity. But this means we then give away our power to that entity.

Even though worker capacity and motivation are destroyed when leaders choose power over productivity it appears that bosses would rather be in control than have the organization work well.
