Sam Harris Continued/Sacred Cow-Shit
Mr. Harris also asks a very critical question. Namely, why is religion the only aspect of human life that we seemingly cannot apply a rational analysis to? People blow themselves to smithereens and somehow believe that this is going to give them an eternal happiness/hard-on and we, Mr. Harris correctly underscores, aren't allowed to utilize reason to critique this for fear of being called a bigot. It is utterly bizarre the entirety of it; crazy-assed beliefs (and, yes, Mr. Harris does in fact hammer away at much of Christianity, too - ergo relax) AND our acceptance of them.

Perhaps it is because faith in a mystical supreme entity is, well, not all that reasoned.
