“Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”
“With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”
“There is indeed good and there is indeed evil, and both walk the earth. But good has little to do with the forms of religion, and evil has as little to do with so much behavior condemned by religion. Both good and evil vie for the passions of the heart. For love!”
“Evil will win if good people do nothing.”
“Ultimately evil is done not so much by evil people, but by good people who do not know themselves and who do not probe deeply.”
“Good and Evil are names for what people do, not for what they are...stopped believing there was a power of good and evil. That they were outside of us...People are too complicated for labels.”
