United International Pictures has put the first nine minutes of 'Serenity' online. Unfortunately, it's in some weird proprietary java streaming format, so it won't work on Linux. But Windows and Mac users should be able to see it.
There is no God (and you know it)
2005-10-08 02:35 pmSam Harris ( http://www.samharris.org/ ) posted a refreshingly blunt anti-religious essay on the HuffPost blog. It's an excerpt from An Atheist Manifesto, to be published at www.truthdig.com in December.
"Somewhere in the world a man has abducted a little girl. Soon he will rape, torture, and kill her. If an atrocity of this kind not occurring at precisely this moment, it will happen in a few hours, or days at most.
Such is the confidence we can draw from the statistical laws that govern the lives of six billion human beings. The same statistics also suggest that this girl’s parents believe -- at this very moment -- that an all-powerful and all-loving God is watching over them and their family. Are they right to believe this? Is it good that they believe this?"
