Book #26.
My acquaintance with Sam Harris just started I think last month when he was introduced to me by a dear friend. I first watched one of his videos on Youtube and then tried reading one of his works, Letter to a Christian Nation. I think it was a good start because it led me to this other work of his, The End of Faith.
The book, the way I understand it, is basically telling us that beliefs with proof must triumph over beliefs based on our religious faith. Sam Harris made some very important points here and it does rather hit hard on the core of religion but definitely worth your time reading.
Quotable Quotes :
“Reason is nothing less than the guardian of love.”
“Nothing is more sacred than the facts.”
“As a man believes, so he will act.”
“Religious faith is the one species of human ignorance that will not admit of even the possibility of correction.”
