Mustapha Mond, when talking to John the Savage, tells of how God has no place in society, the Bible belongs on a shelf (Huxley, 231). Yet throughout the novel the Bible plays an important rule in the Novel. In the Holy Bible, Jesus says, “But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God” (Bible). On the contrary, Mustapha Mond says “Suffer little children” (Huxley, 56).When Jesus said this he meant that the wanted them to come and join, while Mond hated the children and wanted them to leave. The contrast reveals how the attitudes of people are affected without God.
