Picked up a new book

Thank God, this is genetic! My daughter finally developed the taste for the smell of new books! Since she was picking up some paperback for her enjoyment, why wouldn't I? And so I did. Excellent book, "The End Of Faith" by Sam Harris. I admit that there are exaggerrations in it, and the text is quite hard to read as there are many words I would need to use dictionary to understand 100%, but the main assertion I subscribe to.

It is unacceptable to be tolerant towards people believing in fairy tales as though they were true. Author expresses my thought exactly: if there is more than one religion claiming it being the true religion that descends from one true God, none can be trusted to be so. Next time I hear about "The Book" I should ask for proof. Prove to me that everything it says is true.

Acknowledging one's religious beliefs in public has no place in this day and age, just the same as American's bravery about A-bombing Japan (which they don't) or German's deeds in concentration camps (neither would they, except for marginal extremists) would.

Religious beliefs are incompatible with reason. I would hope one day a candidate for the highest office in the country would be required to be free of this anachronic superstition.
