Christians: How many of you have read "The End of Faith" by Sam Harris?

Question

he also wrote "Letter to a Christian Nation":

"People of faith often claim that the crimes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were the inevitable product of unbelief. The problem with fascism and communism, however, is not that they are too critical of religion; the problem is that they are too much like religions. Such regimes are dogmatic to the core and generally give rise to personality cults that are indistinguishable from cults of religious hero worship. Auschwitz, the gulag and the killing fields were not examples of what happens when human beings reject religious dogma; they are examples of political, racial and nationalistic dogma run amok. There is no society in human history that ever suffered because its people became too reasonable."

Answer 1

I agree with 'Jewish Girl' above!

Moreover, the tittle is not appealing to even draw the attention of people. It is written "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God", and "The just shall live by faith" and again "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen" also "Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to him must believe that he is and he a rewarder of those who diligently seek him" and finally "Just as the body without the spirit is dead so also faith if it does not have works is also dead"...............should I go on.

Quite obviously the guy does not what he is talking about.

Answer 2

Guantanimo too.

Answer 3

sam's problem is that he should be talking solutions, not descriptions.
