“ It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an
anthropological concept which I cannot take
seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal
outside the human sphere... Science has been
charged with undermining morality, but the charge
is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based
effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties
and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man
would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be
restrained by fear of punishment and hope of
reward after death.
Albert Einstein

sucking up, apple-polishing, looking over your
shoulder at the great surveillance camera in the
sky, or the still small wiretap inside your head,
monitoring your every move, even your every base
though.
Richard Dawkins
