Atheism should be the law of the land and is the only rational choice for a human being.

Sam talked about many different subjects.  He talked about Liberals defending Charlie Hebdo and that they are appalling and the media that refused to show a united front by publishing Muhammad cartoons endanger us all by sending the message that if Muslims are upset by anything they deem offensive then it is alright to kill us.  He talked about how we all take for granted free stuff online these days (even himself) and how a rethink needs to be had in relation to a fix for this.  He responded to many questions he routinely gets asked, all in all it was an interesting podcast.  Sam Harris has to be one of the most reasonable and rational people on the topic of Islam, he makes a mockery of libtards like Noam Chomsky and the like.

Yes but I wouldn't say its easy an it is not a loss of self rather a coming home to true selfhood . The world always loves to intrude ones peace of mind saying no this is your self, that is your self, you should be worrying, striving, you are your body and its appearance, there's bills to pay, money to make, sitting still is for idle time wasters and accomplishes nothing.
