The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
在舊約中的上帝無疑是在所有小說中最令人不快的：嫉妒，小動作，不公正，無情，控制狂，報復狂，嗜血，種族清洗，看不起女人，同性戀，種族主義，屠殺嬰兒，種族滅絕，殺死自己的兒子，妄想，瘋狂，虐待和受虐，随意恶意，橫行霸道。
- Richard Dawkins [my translation]
