Imagine a world in which generations of human beings come to believe that certain films were made by God or that specific software was coded by him. Imagine a future in which millions of our descendants murder each other over rival interpretations of Star Wars or Windows 98. Could anything -- anything -- be more ridiculous? And yet, this would be no more ridiculous than the world we are living in. -Sam Harris, author (1967- )
This is outrageously false! It equates the Bible and Christian tradition with Star Wars and Windows 98. It is, however, a pretty fair summary of Harris main point in his new book, The End of Faith. Unfortunately the book is likely to pretty influential.
