If you have any belief in God, Sam Harris is about to disabuse you of it. I spent part of my Saturday afternoon reading this brief, deadly assault on religious belief at the local library which just received a copy. Not even liberal theologians are spared. It's a tough polemic that is hard to beat.
This is a must read book for believers and atheists alike. For believers, Letter makes them think hard about first principles and strategies for public morality. For atheists, the book is reminder about implications of the authoritarianism of science and any whether atheists are committed to a pluralistic society that protects freedom of religion.
Meanwhile, writing in the LA Times, Harris takes a shot at liberal denial about the Islamic threat to the West. Will liberals get it? They better since civilization is at stake.
