T. Rafael CiminoFollowing religious principles because you fear the consequences isn't faith…. It’s superstition.
About This Quote
The tragedy of the world is that there are people who only believe in God because of what they fear. They believe in him because they don't want to face their own mortality. It is a superstition. The only thing that God wants from us is love and we should give it freely and without conditions.
