I do like Philip Pullman.And that's an exception because Philip Pullman's books allow magic.

It is a remarkable coincidence that almost everyone has the same religion as their parents and it always just so happens they're the right religion.

Evolution has been observed. It's just that it hasn't been observed while it's happening.

If you are offended by reading views that disagree with yours, then yes, you will be offended. However, it is not gratuitously offensive, it simply puts an argument, and if your views are strong enough, as I believe they are, you will be able to defend your views. You will not say, "Oh, it's offensive, it's offensive." You will say "No, you are wrong here and you are wrong here," and that's what you should do.

Faith is belief without evidence and reason; coincidentally that's also the definition of delusion.

We have this one life, let's enjoy it, let's live it to the full and don't get so worked up about don't identify yourself so passionately with this business called religion.

Even if it were true that we need God to be moral, it would of course not make God's existence more likely, merely more desirable (many people cannot tell the difference)
