Richard Dawkins
If we want to know where the truth lies in particular cases, we have to look.
Richard Dawkins
Pope Francis seems to be a much nicer man than Pope Benedict, but I'm not sure that his views on things that really matter are all that different. Whereas Benedict was perhaps a wolf in wolf's clothing, Francis is perhaps a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Richard Dawkins
I respect you too much to respect your ridiculous ideas.
Richard Dawkins
If there is a God, it's going to be a whole lot bigger and a whole lot more incomprehensible than anything that any theologian of any religion has ever proposed.
Richard Dawkins
Pantheism is sexed-up atheism. Deism is watered-down theism.
Richard Dawkins
It's very important to try to inculcate into children moral rules, such as do as you would be done by.
Richard Dawkins
