“Beginning in the early 1960's, history began to rhyme once again when the Department of Energy and the military began setting off nuclear weapons in the desert. Mushroom clouds lit the skies, and fallout fell like snow. The explosions were called tests, but were nonetheless full-fledged dress rehearsals for Armageddon, perhaps more. Among the desert's longtime residents, the difference between "nuclear testing" and "nuclear war" was far from self-evident.”

“If you think that it would be impossible to improve upon the Ten Commandments as a statement of morality, you really owe it to yourself to read some other scriptures. Once again, we need look no further than the Jains: Mahavira, the Jain patriarch, surpassed the morality of the Bible with a single sentence: 'Do not injure, abuse, oppress, enslave, insult, torment, torture, or kill any creature or living being.' Imagine how different our world might be if the Bible contained this as its central precept. Christians have abused, oppressed, enslaved, insulted, tormented, tortured, and killed people in the name of God for centuries, on the basis of a theologically defensible reading of the Bible.”

“Als ein Schriftgelehrter Jesus einmal fragte, […]was nach seiner Meinung das grüßte Gebot im Gesetz sei, sagte er, es sei die Liebe zu Gott. Das zweite Gebot, man solle seinen Nächsten genauso lieben wie sich selbst, sei jedoch dem ersten gleich. Offenbar ging er davon aus, dass jeder sich selbst liebt; Menschenkenntnis war nicht gerade seine Stärke. In dieser Hinsicht mußte man erst noch auf den Juden aus Wien warten. Wer sich selbst nicht liebte oder gar hasste, durfte also dem zweiten ‚Wort’ zufolge auch seine Mitmenschen hassen, man durfte morden, wenn man dann auch Selbstmord verübte wie Judas oder Hitler. Von der Hölle hatte Jesus offenbar keine Ahnung, aber das war eigentlich klar: schließlich war er ein Wesen, das Gott liebte wie sich selbst. Aber der Kern seiner Antwort lag im Ist-Gleich-Zeichen, das er zwischen die fünf Gebote auf der einen und die fünf auf der anderen Tafel setzte; eines Tages formulierte er sogar eine positive Version der Goldenen Regel: ‚Was Du willst, das man dir tu, das füge auch dem andern zu, denn das ist das Gesetz und die Propheten.”
