প্যাট্রিক কন্ডেল: আমাদের লোক – ১৪

এই লোককে পছন্দ না করে উপায় আছে! কথা বলছেন ঈশ্বর বিষয়ে। কয়েকটি নমুনা:

For one thing, a god who's afraid of new ideas is certainly no creator. But also, his eagerness to be worshipped tells us that this is an extemely shallow individual... and his quickness to violence shows that he's also profoundly stupid. 

...

Indeed, this god is so limited in scope, and so aggressively unsubtle both in word and deed, that you could be forgiven for mistaking him for some kind of primitive desert-dwelling tribal human being, and concluding, as I have, that we are not his children at all, but in fact he's our child, and he's a very very bad boy. 

...

Just look at his track record. He comes out of the desert a few thousand years ago killing and smiting with righteous abandon, spawns three religions that absolutely loathe each other, supplies us with scriptures that set us at each other's throats like dogs over trifles, dividing us into us and them, into believers and infidels, ensuring that every one of us will be born with millions of instant enemies. 

...

Thanks to this monster, we live in a world divided against itself, where every one of us is an infidel to somebody, including you, no matter what you believe, even if it's nothing, you can be guaranteed that somebody somewhere hates your guts because of it. 

...

Of course violence is the only answer. After all, it's the language of God. That'll be our god, the stupid one, the god of death. "Believe in me or burn in hell", "Worship me or I'll send a plague", "Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in, or I'll burn your cities to the ground." 

...

Things are just the same as ever. People still worshipping dumb idols, still fearing evil spirits, still cowering under the angry heavens like a bunch of frightened cavemen.
