If we, as suggested, in this generation taught our children this way, then they'd not have to endure the physical and psychological torture of religion. If one is to be reasonable, and has been taken in by religion, it takes a completely new education, (and often psychotherapy) to break free from the bonds that have been holding one back. Imagine a world in which people are brought up to think!

I appreciate this Sam Harris explanation. Living in the moment is the key to less stress and more fulfillment. Religion is a salve, but quieting the mind, that's the way to live.

Nicely said, Sam. If only people would stop using religion as a badge of honor, if people would recognize church as a club rather than an authority, then we might have reasonable discourse. If a god were omniscient, this book would actually relate to all and never need interpreted.
