“Coolidge has the best idea on this farm relief. He said, 'Farmers, you are in a hole. I can't help you, but I will get in with you.' He did.

“Sam Harris fearlessly describes a moral and intellectual emergency precipitated by religious fantasies--misguided beliefs that create suffering, that rationalize violence, that have endangered our nation and our future. His argument for the morality, the honesty, and the humility of atheism is galvanizing. It is a relief that someone has spoken so frankly, with such passion yet such rationality. Now when the subject arises, as it inevitably does, I can simply say: Read Sam Harris’ Letter to a Christian Nation.” DoeI CanChristianSufferingPassionBeliefNationsReligiousMoralFantasyViolenceAtheismSubjectsHonestyHumilityMoralityIntellectualArgumentLettersAriseReliefOur FutureRationalityEmergenciesMisguidedRationalizeChristian Nation Author:Janna Levin
