So, basically, Sam Harris wrote a book about something that everyone should already be aware of.
I'm not anti-religion, I'm just saying that anyone with eyes and the ability to string two ideas together, should already be aware of what the situation is. Jam it back in, in the dark.  Posting without content since 2002. |

It's an interesting point that someone brought up, earlier, that they believe people only do things because they think a supreme being might be watching over them. I find that to be a ridiculous notion.
Brady, I think the common good can be ratified by values common to all or a vast majority of peoples. For example, the greater good could be something simple as ensuring survivability (i.e. necessary provisions such as food, shelter, at least something resembling healthcare whether holistic or western medicine) for all those within the society. As far as I know, it is recognized amongst all cultures that humans need to eat to survive, they also require some sort of shelter, and healing. I do not need religion or faith to make utilitarian decisions. Hedonistic calculus, man, whatever produces the greatest good for the largest number of people. There's nowhere I can't reach.
