Harris vs. Sullivan

Beliefnet is featuring an interesting, ongoing e-mail debate between best-selling atheist Sam Harris and pro-religion blogger Andrew Sullivan. The format is a little annoying, requiring some jumping back and forth, but the content is worth the effort.

Most Americans oppose violence spurred by religious fundamentalism, but few agree on how to address it. In books like "The End of Faith" and "Letter to a Christian Nation", author Sam Harris contends that religion itself--not its more extreme forms--is to blame. This week, Harris debates blogger and "Conservative Soul" author Andrew Sullivan in a no-holds-barred "blogalogue."
