Quote by Richard Dawkins
Why, I can't help wondering, is God thought to need such ferociousdefence? One might have supposed him amply capable of lookingafter himself.
Summary
This quote questions the belief that God requires intense and aggressive defense by his followers. The speaker expresses curiosity as to why people feel the need to vehemently defend God, suggesting that God, being all-powerful, should be capable of protecting himself if such protection were necessary. It implies a doubt about the necessity of fervent defense, or perhaps even a skepticism about the existence of a deity that would require defensive actions from humans.
