Sam Harris at ffrf

Just got my books signed by Sam Harris - who is a brilliant speaker. Just a couple of quick quotes:

If you woke up tomorrow thinking that speaking a few Latin words over your cornflakes would turn them into the body of Julius Caesar - or Jimi Hendrix - you'd be a lunatic. Think the same thing will turn a cracker into Jesus - you're sane.

The best in us does not require the worst in us. Everyone tells us that we need delusion, that delusion is our only hope. This is not true.
