    • Quotes
      • Sam Harris: Our religions are the area in which we tolerate dogma with - completely uncritically. Uh, to deny that the Holocaust ever happened or to assert that you know you're in dialogue with extraterrestrials is pretty much synonymous with, with craziness in our culture. And it is so because we, we challenge people when they believe things strongly without evidence, or in, in contradiction to a mountain of evidence, um, except on matters of faith.
