The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins, 2006
A biologist argues that unbelief is a reasonable position, and that morality, meaning and wonder survive perfectly well without God.
Richard Dawkins
Dawkins coined the word 'meme' in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, two decades before the internet gave it a life of its own.
Feels like defiance, faith and morality.
If you're only good because someone is watching, is it goodness?
Do you really mean to tell me the only reason you try to be good is to gain God’s approval and reward, or to avoid his disapproval and punishment? That’s not morality, that’s just 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.
