My favourite quote.
How incredibly right he is with that view, IMO religious people F.E.A.R the universe...and for good reason I guess as it holds the truths they don't want to see.

I also like this quote:
Quote:
Atheists believe that life is meaningless.

On the contrary, religious people often worry that life is meaningless and imagine that it can only be redeemed by the promise of eternal happiness beyond the grave. Atheists tend to be quite sure that life is precious. Life is imbued with meaning by being really and fully lived. Our relationships with those we love are meaningful now; they need not last forever to be made so. Atheists tend to find this fear of meaninglessness … well … meaningless.


I'm a big fan of Harris...Thanks for the link.
