“I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero.”

Penn Jillette (1955) American magician

2010s, Penn Jillette Rapes All the Women He Wants To (2012)
Context: The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine. I don't want to do that. Right now, without any god, I don't want to jump across this table and strangle you. I have no desire to strangle you. I have no desire to flip you over and rape you.
