Sam Harris: The View From The End Of The World



Author Sam Harris , whose book The End of Faith, I have recently read and highly recommend, is also the author of a book titled, The View From The End Of The World. The following presentation is a talk, given by the author in Dec 2005 in San Francisco, which outlines his thoughts and observations on the role of religion in the modern world.

I believe that any rational person today must question the belief systems that are bringing our world to the brink of destruction. We must also examine the motives of those that would use their own beliefs to supress, influence, and even control the lives of all the people of the world.

I will not go on about this today. The following audio-only presentation addresses these isuues quite eloquently enough for me. This talk is quite long, about an hour and twenty-two minutes, but don't let that put you off.
