Hedges on politics.

Harris on superstition.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

It's where the two meet, when it gets challenging. That's why I became interested in atheism. I noticed that moral values were all out of order.
