This is a lecture given in Toronto on Thursday, June 24, 2005 by Sam Harris. Sam Harris is a NY Times best selling author who wrote "End of Faith" and more recently wrote "Letter to a Christian Nation."
@Lavere2009 you realize why america is so great is because of the founding documents...The secular founding documents that separates church from state. That fact that you said "if you want to take god out of schools..." I mean you must know absolutely nothing about your history to say such a stupid thing. You don't know anything and should be really embarrassed if your an adult and are still that oblivious.
Your not preaching a possibility of enlightenment with logic and freedom. Your trying to take away someone elses beliefs system and freedoms to do so. You are in the wrong in doing this, I am not going to forsake God or my county to make you feel better. This freedom you use to speak your mind and slander is tolerated and even possible by Gods grace. If you want to take God out of the schools, society, go found a new country and pray to the great "Darwin" to bless your country.
I love how he completely explains everything and gives examples, because a lot of time people don't understand the jargon. You have to speak to in lamen's terms to people, especially the one's that live in a world where they wouldn't know what to do if that giant diamond wasn't buried in their backyard!!
oh, could i watch this over and over... it's great, the funniest thing i've ever heard. Cause the best comedians will tell you the key to comedy: emphasizing the stupidities of the world. The funniest things are the things we've witnessed for ourselves. though all this sam says should be terrifying, it's kind of funny: we can't really do too much about it.

I could not have said any of this better myself.

Not only wars. He also refers to arguments throwed, you know, just verbally speaking

I like to see this kind of thing, but in all honesty I became very bored.

Who said anything about a Abrahamic Godhead figure?

The 'God' Sam is referring to when he says that 'it' does not exist is the Abrahamic Godhead figure, not God in in its entirety ;-)

None the less he's admitted that God could exist a mark change from his work which declared God does not exist.
