people are irrational
will scan the cover
the end of faith: religion, terror, and the future of reason
i wish i'd had sam harris's book when i was being indoctrinated in my youth but my parents would simply not have been able to comprehend its arguments. so glad the children are being raised without irrational beliefs in invisible omnipotent supreme beings in the sky
