Religious Views

Most religions contain a body of traditional sacred stories that are believed to express profound truth.

Other religious organizations and practitioners have no problem with categorizing their sacred stories as myths.

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or views:

    The chief assertion of religious morality is that white is a colour. Virtue is not the absence of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing, like pain or a particular smell.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
