You're main point about quotation is fine, and Dawkins is
clear on his views. But I would echo Paul's observation.
If this is only blind electrons and pitiless genes, then
why should justice matter. If we have the power, we should
use it, in fact, it would be wrong not to. And if we can
cheat and steal and spray our genes everywhere, why not?
Submit to God...., what an utterly asinine idea!
