I have not considered myself a Christian since I was 14 years old when I was told by my confessor that I was an "animal" because I had confessed to masturbating. I walked out of the confessional red hot with embarrassment and anger. From that day on, my spiritual journey became a personal one that would in the end lead me away from Catholicism, away from organized religion and finally away from Christianity itself. In Letter to a Christian Nation Sam Harris finally gives expression to ideas that I haven't been able to put into words. LTACN is a brilliant indictment against the superstition, superficiality, and ignorance of the far-right's argument for a "christian" morality based on biblical inerrancy.
