Sam Harris

Sam Harris is an American author, philosopher, and neuroscientist known for his writings on religion, morality, and free will.

"Just as there is no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim Algebra, we will see tht there is no such thing as Christian or Muslim morality."
Sam Harris
"It's simply untrue that religion provides the only framework for a universal morality."
Sam Harris
"Religion provides the only story that is fundamentally consoling in the face of the worst possible experiences - the death of a parent, for instance. In fact, many religions take away the problem entirely, because their adherents ostensibly believe that they're going to be reunited with everyone they love, and death is an illusion."
Sam Harris
"False encouragement is a kind of theft: it steals time, energy, and motivation a person could put toward some other purpose."
