"Questions of morality are questions about happiness and suffering. This is why you and I do not have moral obligations towards rocks."

Thank you Sam Harris. Author of The End of Faith and Letters to a Christian Nation. As I read the latter and see that it is a lucid, well reasoned and powerful argument against the right wing Christian fervor that has the national political debate in a headlock. I fucking love it. There are more great quotes that I will put up from Letters over the next few days as I read. It is especially great when he takes Mother Teresa to task about her commitment to abortion. Sweet!
