Description

From the new afterword by the author:

Humanity has had a long fascination with blood sacrifice. In fact, it has been by no means uncommon for a child to be born into this world only to be patiently and lovingly reared by religious maniacs, who believe that the best way to keep the sun on its course or to ensure a rich harvest is to lead him by tender hand into a field or to a mountaintop and bury, butcher, or burn him alive as offering to an invisible God. The notion that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that his death constitutes a successful propitiation of a “loving” God is a direct and undisguised inheritance of the superstitious bloodletting that has plagued bewildered people throughout history. . .

    Thank you for articulating what I am unable to. I believe that I see what you see and am trying not to panic. Blind and dangerous unreasonableness.
  • Amazing!

    I agree with JCtheology completely, guys. Sam Harris is unsophisticated in this book. Could be better.
  • Highly recommended

    Harris, with usual clarity and lucidity, lays out a brilliant argument against Christianity, and ultimately organized religion in general.

    A concise and exceptional account on the decisive and destructive nature of religion in the modern world.

    The first to speak seems right till the second presents his case. I dared to read this, I dare you to read Ravi's response as openly!

    Sam Harris presents a well founded case in a conversational tone against not only Christianity but all of faith.

    An "Atheist" classic!
  • The way, the truth & the light
