I clipped this article because I am a believer in God and I found the quote "Compassion is deeper than religion" to be deeply profound.

A powerful, well-crafted editorial. It's been great to watch Sam Harris's writing skills rise to match his argumentative prowess, and with broad-reaching articles like these, his popularity is sure to increase.

(Check your clip title, debbyski. I think you were trying to have it match the article.)
