OK, my clip title is a bit hyperbolic. Dawkins is not all that Evil!

Not evil at all would be more accurate.

"People sometimes say "There must be more than just this world, than just this life?" But how much more do you want? We are going to die and that makes us the lucky ones, most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born.

The number of people who could be here in my place, outnumber the sand grains of Sahara, if you think about all different ways in which our genes could be permuted You and I are quite grotesquely lucky to be here.
The number of events that had to happen in order for you to exist, in order for me to exist. We are privileged to be alive and we should make the most of our time on this world." - Richard Dawkins

My comment was meant to be ironic. Damn hard sometimes to make that clear to one such as I who is not gifted with the pen.

Nice quote! I feel that way every morning when I wake up. Damn lucky!

Oh I know irony when I see it but I have discovered there are many on this site who wouldn't know it if Joe Pesci himself slapped them with it.

Since I'm currently in such good company I'll share another of my favourite quotes which should fulfil your thirst for irony.

“Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.”
~ Isaac Asimov

and one more just for fun

I once heard the voice of God. It said ‘Vrrrrmmmmm.’ Unless it was just a lawn mower.”

Very nice! I was familiar with the Asimov quote but the unknown 11 year old quote was new to me. Cute. And I'll return the favor:

infidel: In New York, one who does not believe in the Christian religion; in Constantinople, one who does.
--Ambrose Bierce

An Inuit hunter asked the local missionary priest: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" "No," said the priest, "not if you did not know." "Then why," asked the Inuit earnestly, "did you tell me?"
--Annie Dillard
