Ali  - Quotes

 Muhammad Ali:
I ain't draft dodging. I ain't burning no flag. I ain't running to Canada. I'm staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I ain't going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won't even stand up for my right here at home.
 



Far from Heaven  - Quotes

 
[Studying a Miró painting]
Raymond Deagan:
So, what's your opinion on modern art?
Cathy Whitaker:
It's hard to put into words, really. I just know what I care for and what I don't. Like this... I don't know how to pronounce it... Mira?
Raymond Deagan:
Miró.
Cathy Whitaker:
Miró. I don't know why, but I just adore it. The feeling it gives. I know that sounds terribly vague.
Raymond Deagan:
No. No, actually, it confirms something I've always wondered about modern art. Abstract art.
Cathy Whitaker:
What's that?
Raymond Deagan:
That perhaps it's just picking up where religious art left off, somehow trying to show you divinity. The modern artist just pares it down to the basic elements of shape and color. But when you look at that Miró, you feel it just the same.
 

Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple  - Quotes

 Deborah Layton:
Nobody joins a cult. Nobody joins something they think's gonna hurt them. You join a religious organization, you join a political movement, and you join with people that you *really like.*
 



School Ties  - Quotes

 Charlie Dillon:
True story, last weekend there was a religious revival at Madison Square Garden. Bishop Fulton Sheen made such a stirring speech that 10,000 people converted to Catholicism. Then Billy Graham got up and did some inspired preaching and 10,000 people converted to Protestantism, then to close the program, Pat Boone got up and sang "There's A Gold Mine In The Sky" and 20,000 Jews joined the Air Force!
 

Grand Canyon  - Quotes

 Davis:
We're talking about a religious experience here. I might say "doth" or "thou" or a lot of things.
 

American Psyche  - Quotes

 Ray Hudson:
If your faith doesn't have any kind of real influence on how you live your life or the kind of decisions you make than what's the point of having a religious life in the first place?
 

Religulous  - Quotes

 Bill Maher:
Rational people, anti-religionists, must end their timidity and come out of the closet and assert themselves. And those who consider themselves only moderately religious really need to look in the mirror and realize that the solace and comfort that religion brings you actually comes at a terrible price.
 

Where the Heart Is  - Quotes

 Thelma 'Sister' Husband:
[answers the door] Yes?
Religious Man:
Ma'am, we've come here today to give the word of God to the Wal-mart baby, and to her young unmarried mother.
Religious Woman:
We drove all the way up from Midnight, Mississippi.
Thelma 'Sister' Husband:
Well, you folks could have saved yourselves a trip because the word of God has been in this house for a very long time. [slams door in their faces]
 

Hackers  - Quotes

 
[Reading from "The Hackers' Manifesto."]
Agent Bob:
"This is our world now. The world of the electron and the switch; the beauty of the baud. We exist without nationality, skin color, or religious bias. You wage wars, murder, cheat, lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto." Huh? Right? Manifesto? "You may stop me, but you can't stop us all."
 

The Judas Project  - Quotes

 
[the World Powers, both religious and political, are trying to recruit Jesse as their instrument]
Jesse:
I'VE COME TO HELP! The weak need strength; the strong need tenderness; the tempted and fallen need salvation; the righteous need pity for sinners; the fighters need a leader; the lonely simply need a friend. Only God can be all these things... The world has always had a Leader; the trouble is no one wants to listen, much less follow.
 

Nudist Colony of the Dead  - Quotes

 Miss Stucco:
This is a religious retreat, which has nothing to do with fun! Do you think Jesus was having fun when he was being nailed on the cross? Do you think Noah had fun when he watched all his neighbors drowning? Do you think Cecil B. DeMille had fun when he parted the Red Sea and sent his crew into golden overtime?
 

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas  - Quotes

 Raoul Duke:
Well? What are your plans?
Dr. Gonzo:
Plans?
Raoul Duke:
The child in the bedroom.
Dr. Gonzo:
Oh, Lucy. I met her on the plane. Yeah, she's a religious freak. I gave her a cap before I realized... Jesus, she's never even had a drink before.
Raoul Duke:
Well... It'll probably work out. We can keep her loaded and peddle her ass at the drug convention. Yeah. She's perfect for this gig. These cops will go fifty bucks a head to beat her into submission and then gang fuck her. We can set her up in one of these back street motels, hang pictures of Jesus all over the room, then turn these fucking pigs loose on her. Hell, she's strong, man. She'll hold her own.
Dr. Gonzo:
Jesus Christ. I knew you were sick but I never expected to hear you actually say that kind of stuff, you filthy bastard.
Raoul Duke:
Straight economics man. This girl is a God-send. Shit, she can make us a grand a day.
Dr. Gonzo:
That's ugly, man. Stop talking like that.
Raoul Duke:
I figure she can do about four at a time. If we keep her full of acid that's more like two grand a day. Maybe three.
Dr. Gonzo:
Hold on, man. What if I just jump you and beat the dog shit out of you? Would that make you feel better? You filthy bastard.
Raoul Duke:
Alright listen to me. In a few hours, she'll probably be sane enough to work herself into some kind of towering Jesus-based rage at the hazy recollection of being seduced by some kind of cruel Samoan who fed her liquor and LSD, dragged her to a Vegas hotel room and then savagely penetrated every orifice in her little body with his throbbing, uncircumcised member.
Dr. Gonzo:
That's so ugly, man!
Raoul Duke:
Fuck. Truth hurts.
Dr. Gonzo:
That's, argh! Argh! That's argh! Argh! That's argh!
Raoul Duke:
Argh!
Dr. Gonzo:
I wanted to help her, man.
Raoul Duke:
Well, you'll go straight to the gas chamber for this one. And even if you manage to beat that, they'll still send you back to Nevada for rape and consensual sodomy. She's got to go.
Dr. Gonzo:
Shit. It doesn't pay to try to help someone these days.
 

The Kingdom  - Quotes

 Ellis Leach:
I met with Prince Thamer at Saudi Embassy fifteen minutes after hearing this morning's news. And after speaking with Thamer, I advised withholding additional U.S. personnel, because a large part of the religious justification for these bombs is the presence of current U.S. personnel. More boots on Saudi soil is only gonna make an already combustible situation that much more so.
Maricella Canavesio:
My two cents. The Saudis have not asked for FBI help. They've done the opposite. This is just going to further complicate an already deteriorating situation with one of our few remaining allies in the Middle East.
Attorney General Gideon Young:
Rock solid logic.
FBI Director James Grace:
Well, we would like to be on the record as saying the FBI would like an Evidence Response Team on the ground in Riyadh now.
Ellis Leach:
Doesn't your team in that country represent exactly the kind of... of target that these masters would die for? They'd trade ten of their own for one of you.
FBI Director James Grace:
Not to go after criminals because they might try to harm you is really not a policy of the FBI. See, we try not to say uncle. We try.
 

The Skeleton Key  - Quotes

 Violet Devereaux:

Pi  - Quotes

 Sol Robeson:
Hold on. You have to slow down. You're losing it. You have to take a breath. Listen to yourself. You're connecting a computer bug I had with a computer bug you might have had and some religious hogwash. You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere.
 

The Andromeda Strain  - Quotes

Charles 'Chuck' Beeter:

Ed Dewitt:
I don't mean every four years. I mean, do you have faith?
Charles 'Chuck' Beeter:
Yes, sir.
Ed Dewitt:
Then you can pray.

If we're talking in religious terms.

If the UPS man was a hymn, I'd sing him everyday.
 

Orientation: A Scientology Information Film  - Quotes

 Host:
Now, you may have some questions concerning the validity and integrity of the organization. Well, no less than the Internal Revenue Service of the United States government conducted a review of Scientology. The most thorough investigation of any church in its history. Over a period of many years, they examined millions of pages of church documents, and financial records. They studied every aspect of the religion, and its corporate and ecclesiastical structure. And their findings? The IRS determined that Scientology *is* a bona fide religion. That the churches of Scientology, and their related social betterment organizations, operate *exclusively* for religious, charitable, and educational purposes. That they benefit the *public*, rather than the interests of private individuals. And that no part of their income goes to the benefit of any individual or noncharitable entity. It is likely that Scientology was scrutinized more deeply than any other church in history. And it passed that review with flying colors, gaining full religious and charitable recognition. In doing so, the IRS granted the church, and all its affiliated organizations, full tax exemption. In fact, you'll be happy to know, even your donations are tax deductible. Just like every religion. Now that you know the factual and legal standing of the church, you may well ask the question, "What are the advantages of Dianetics and Scientology for me?" So, let's ask some people.
