Sam Harris: Journey to Atheism Sparked by 9/11

This is how Sam Harris took a larger interest in religion. I have always had an interest in but mine was sparked from growing up in a rural area surrounded but some of the most contradictory and exclusive religious people I’ve ever met. Snake handlers whose leader died from a snake bite that still practice the religion? That’s scary. And dumb. So I quote myself again in saying that we are all born atheist and we’re taught to be everything else – including agnosticism as it is fairly dogmatic. Atheism to me the lack of belief; never having accepted religion or supernatural belief; never succumbing to the false sense of comfort that religion can provide to those who seek such a weak and easy answer to life, and comfort to confront death. I will assert that the path to atheism is a one way direction.
