 BTG 8 Sam Harris - The End of Faith interview | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 43:20:00

Is it true that fundamentalists' belief in God, or at least the certainty of the belief behind religion, is responsible for the extreme violence we see in the world today and have seen through the ages? Are liberal minded Christians just making rationalizations and excuses so that they can ignore the violence and oppression that is inherent in the Bible? Is Islam completely intolerant of any moderate voice in this modern age? Should all conversations about faith be subservient to those with a more "rational" and secular viewpoint? Writer Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith, discusses these and other issues around religiosity with our cohost Ron K. on Beyond the Ghetto - Within the Village on RadioGay.ca.
