last summer i read a book entitled, "The End of Faith," by Sam Harris. Sam Harris is an atheist who believes that not only is there no such thing as God, but that Christianity is responsible for all things bad in the world today.
Here is the link to a recent NEWSWEEK article that has a conversation between Rick Warren and Sam Harris.

after i read the article i was really just frustrated. really more because i am someone who tends to err on the side of simplicity and pragmatism here is my conclusion:
- Rick's core belief is that God created man. For him, everything flows out of that.
- Sam's core belief is that man created God. For him, everything flows out of that.
Since theism and atheism are both faith-based belief systems, how do you prove the other guy wrong in a debate?
