Quote of the day

"Imagine a world in which generations of human beings come to believe that certain films were made by God or that specific software was coded by him.

"Imagine a future in which millions of our descendants murder each other over rival interpretations of Star Wars or Windows 98. Could anything -- anything -- be more ridiculous? And yet, this would be no more ridiculous than the world we are living in."

-Sam Harris, author (1967- )
