Christians, Beware! If you dare even glance at the title of this book, your immortal soul will be in grave danger! Hide the children and lash your spouse to the mast, this tome is full of pure, unadulterated reason! True story: I was once a Christian until my church started worshipping at the alter of George W. Bush and Co., and looking askance at us few liberal democrat, social justice leaning lefties, what with all our "feed the poor and provide affordable care to the sick" nonsense. I started to question how I could be a Christian and fit in with my GOP Fox-zombie brothers and sisters-in-Christ, until the day I came across this book. That was the day that metaphorical lightning cracked through my poor soul, as God was obviously pretty jacked that I dared to think I was strong enough to handle this nastily well thought out material. I wasn't. God was right. The smooth logic of Sam Harris slithered with an oily limbriguity through my fleshy mind, causing me to question the very pillars of my belief - namely, forcing me to open a dictionary and realize that "faith" means to "accept without proof", and that "accepting without proof" is the same mechanism that allows Icelanders to believe in elves (really they do, google it) and my friends' wife to believe that angels ride in the car with her and help her pick good produce. So as you can see, this book has ruined my life. I feel empty without all the warm, cozy guilt I used to carry around for being born a sinner. I now have nothing to dress up for on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. I've lost all the people I used to have over for our Small Group, with our uplifting discussions of which color magnetic ribbons to put on our minivans and if Jesus would have have used enhanced interrogation himself or just approve it for other evangelicals. I have an extra 10% of my filthy lucre that I don't know what to with. Fat lot of good that'll do me, as I'll probably get killed by Satan now, and once I'm dead, I'm not invited to the big party in the sky anymore. I'll just be dead. Which sucks. I guess I'll have to try harder to enjoy my futile existence, and maybe go on a cruise or something. I could use that extra 10% of my paycheck I suppose. Whatever.Read full review
Harris rips the veil with this challenging expose of the notion of religion. If you live in a religion-induced cocoon where you embrace certain sections of your particular "word of god" and look down your nose at unbelievers, you will find it difficult to objectively entertain much of this book. However, if 'religion' (not to be confused with spiritualism) doesn't sit right with you, then you will likely glean insight from some of the refreshing perspectives in the book. Like it or hate it, there are some blunt and inarguable truths presented in this text that when considered objectively will force the reader to look at some things differently, no matter how safe they may feel in their cocoon, their pew, their beads, their prayers, or in strapping a bomb to themselves and killing infidels.
I am not an atheist, but I love the book. Religion has destroyed everything. Specifically Christianity in its early years. Today, fundamentalist Islam. When will Islam live and let live? It is a hopeless religion.

Why all religions are at each other's throat? It's all in this pithy little book.
