Quote:...when a person thinks that they have God or Allah or the Bible or the Koran on their side, what we might normally call immoral actions now become sacrosanct with a full accedence from heaven. This, of course, stands in direct opposition to Dostoevksy’s much-trumpeted (by believers) point that without God, everything is permitted.

I don’t know of any modern thinker who has yet to articulate it thusly, but I now say it without compunction: with God, anything, absolutely anything, is permitted.

Very well put.
