Why overlook the Rational? Perhaps one day we will depend on ourselves, instead of superstitions.

Have you guys read the End of Faith by Sam Harris? Brilliant book on rationality. Richard Dawson's The God Delusion is definitely a number 2.

  Bulliet, a history professor at Columbia University and a former director of the Middle East Institute, offers a short, insightful book about Islam and Muslims that actually provides hope for the future. The book consists of four essays arguing that Islam and Christianity have tremendous common roots and history—as much as, or more than, Christianity and Judaism.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/0231127979/104-9720468-3159163?SubscriptionId=02ZH6J1W0649DTNS6002">Bulliet's most brilliant insight, which comes in the last chapter, is the recognition that those Islamic movements on the fringe eventually become the center of Islam. The new leaders of Islam—probably those on the edge now, who have shown more diverse, tolerant attitudes—have not yet been heard from, he says. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/0231127979/104-9720468-3159163?SubscriptionId=02ZH6J1W0649DTNS6002"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.amazon.com/img/A4970BF0-672E-4CBA-9C1A-E1715149EBD7" alt="The Case for Islamo-christian Civilization" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2EC4F5F6-4514-48D3-BA98-4E6BE376D55D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
