Чем они набожнее, тем больше они считают, что «Не убий» обсуждаемо… Всё зависит от того, кто убивает и кого убивают.
Murder. The fifth commandment. But when you think about it… When you think about it, religion has never really had a big problem with murder. Not really. More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason. All you have to do… sure. Uh huh. All you have to do is look at Northern Ireland, the Middle East, Kashmir, the Inquisition, the Crusades, and the World Trade Center to see how seriously the religious folk take «Thou shalt not kill». The more devout they are, the more they see murder as being negotiable. It depends on who's doin the killin' and who's gettin' killed.

Цитаты о инквизиция
„Когда религия соединяется с политикой, рождается инквизиция.“
Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of skeptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.

Perhaps, I can express more fully in verse ideas and emotions which run counter to the inert crystallized opinion — hard as a rock — which the vast body of men have vested interests in supporting. <…> If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone.

Из письма другу Боткину 1 марта 1841 года.
„У нас нет партии без склонности к инквизиции в той или иной форме.“

„Если бы Галилей сказал стихами, что земля вертится, инквизиция, возможно, оставила бы его в покое.“
If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone.
