And that's when i realized, Ernie, that if God doesn't exist, then everything is permissible.

The Universe doesn't care what happens to me, or to you, or to those seven billion people on the planet. It won't hear them cry out. It won't shed a tear when they're gone.
Humanity doesn't even register on the cosmic scales.

You have to understand, Ernie, that what I'm doing isn't mass murder. It isn't genocide. It isn't a terrible atrocity. It just...is.
