More From Richard Dawkins
- "There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can’t prove that there aren’t any, so shouldn’t we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"
- "The Bible should be taught, but emphatically not as reality. It is fiction, myth, poetry, anything but reality. As such it needs to be taught because it underlies so much of our literature and our culture."
- "Nothing is wrong with peace and love. It is all the more regrettable that so many of Christ’s followers seem to disagree."
