The End of Faith by Sam Harris
What a book is all I can say. It will shake up the very foundation of your thoughts. It will engender hate from some people and a deep sense of “I’m not alone in my opinions” in others.
Has anyone else read it who stops by here? If so, what did you think when you read it?
I fear for the author’s life actually and hope that instead of being a male named Sam Harris who’s working on a PhD in neuroscience, the author’s actually Ann Smith, a stay at home mom who lives in the Midwest.
------
Off to work on a Grandma story. Three quarters of my teeth have been scaled and I’ve survived quite nicely. I love my dentist. I’m so proud of myself that I have overcome the horrible fear I’ve had of going to the dentist and I owe it all to Dr. Ed Kozinn and his staff.

Hey Bradley! I'd be most interested in your opnion of this book - it affected me profoundly.
And, even though the content is tough, his writing style is non-academic and easy to read.
I will go check it out... and it will sit on the floor with the other 30 books I am behind reading (just never enough time to read anymore... *sigh*).
But I will get to it...
And glad to hear about the dentist... it is always interesting to come up agaisnt your fears and win. Good for you!
Is it the author's personal story, or is it about the end of faith in general? Sounds interesting.
John Doe Jr's eye looks like my brother's.
Thanks JDJ - I've struggled with extreme fear of the dentist my whole life. To me, this is a personal victory -- I guess you just have to go to the right dentist!
Hi Doc E - it is the author's opinion on the only way we can ever hope to have peace on earth...it's been on my mind 24/7 since I read it.
