First off Sam Harris is a smart dude. Reading the end of faith is slightly depressing when you come to a realization of what our world has become. Of course, if you're blinded by "faith" <---- (we'll define this word later).. then you're missing a picture of reality, you're astray and there really isn't a way out until you hear listen to and understand the facts. However "comparison" Zeus and his cronies, obviously technology and science during those times had very little understanding of our natural world. no clue what caused lightning what was the driving force of storms barometric pressure high pressure and low pressure systems coming together to make high winds and heavy weather conditions. War was a huge part of their culture obvious by the empire shifting and swaying. Stars were being looked at in a different light. Things were being seen but little was understood. On the same token all of those things were part of everyday life they were pertinent to that society's way of life. Human beings scream for control it's natural no ( ... )

first of all i wanna say, that its nice to meet someone who can hold their ground on this subject. secondly, it's also nice to meet someone who can not only just hold their grounf on this subject, but hold it from a scientific point of view aswell. im impressed. i have just stepped foot into this world of truth, i've never belived in god, but i always kinds stood on the out skirts of this subkject and tried to play referie. well no longer will i sit by and watch this shit be force fed to people. its simply not okay by me.

Theres a chance my soon to be fiance will be getting stationed in VA within the next 2 months, and if that is the case, itd be cool to meet you and talk. besides any friend of kelly is a friend of mine.

hahha my only problem is deciding when and where to stop. I'm definitely up for conversation, and tyhe same holds true for me as well any friend of Kelly is a friend of mine. reading the end of faith is a depressing realization of what human beings have unknowingly chained themselves to.
