This Won't Work!

(12)

Time for me to quote from Sam Harris' book, The End of Faith. As I've said I only read it on the potty. Trouble is I don't spend much time on the potty. So I have not got far in Sam's book. But I've got far enough! I love Sam Harris and his ideas!

So before I wrap it up tonight I will quote fro (boom)m The End of Faith by Sam Harris who informs us of certain ancient texts in the very old and odius testament which tend to suggest to us (for example the Book of Deuteromoty) that we should kill members of our own family under certain conditions, specifically, D-13-7-11.

I read the text in question and I was appalled.

Harris suggests that the modern failure to react to such ancient texts is a direct result of a modernity which ignores ancient verities in favor of peaceful coexistence with the past.

But this won't work!
