His book "The End of Faith" is heading into it's fifth week on the paperback best seller list. Harris argues that "in the presence of weapons of mass destruction we cannot expect to survive our religous differences indefinitely." More controversially, he argues "that 'moderation' in religion poses considerable dangers of its own, as the accomodation we have made to religious faith in our society now blinds us to the role that faith plays in perpetuating human conflict." We need Sam Harris. How about getting Sam Harris on the show. His book “The End of Faith” is heading into it’s fifth week on the paperback best seller list.

Which it was not. “The question is whether their use of the phrase “open sourceâ€? could create confusion in our current and not insignificant web and radio audience. Or our partners.
