“If this dysfunctional family was the best Sodom had to offer by way of morals, some might begin to feel a certain sympathy with God and his judicial brimstone.”
― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

“I am not trying to make a point by telling stories. Chosen examples are never serious evidence for any worthwhile generalization.”
― Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

“Many of us shrink from judicial execution of even the most horrible human criminals, while we cheerfully countenance the shooting without trial of fairly mild animal pests. Indeed we kill members of other harmless species as a means of recreation and amusement. A human foetus, with no more human feeling than an amoeba, enjoys a reverence and legal protection far in excess of those granted to an adult chimpanzee. Yet the chimp feels and thinks and — according to recent experimental evidence — may even be capable of learning a form of human language.”
― Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

“The Bible may be an arresting and
poetic work of fiction, but it is not the sort of book you should give
your children to form their morals.”
― Richard Dawkins
