To reviewer D. McMillin

Dear M. McMillin, your defense of faith gives no evidence of you having read the book you reviewed. It seems to me, that your only goal was to place a bad feedback, not an evaluation of the content.
Lichtenberg, a german writer of the 18th century, once observed: "It is really a miracle, that people prefer to kill for their faith than living according to it.
Sam Harris points out that most religions contain dogmas of intolerance and hatred towards others (siding commandments of love for others). This is the reason he feels, religious faith is ethically inadequate.
At one point he remarks, that faith is the resource (when reason fails) to keep stuck on certain ideas. Or in other words: When our reason tells us, something cannot or should not be, we use faith to avoid an update of our attitude.
As I feel, you used your faith to avoid understand the book.
