  <default_description>In 2006, Sam Harris wrote &quot;Letter to a Christian Nation&quot;, which argues that religion is often self-contradictory, irrational, regressive, and at times barbaric. In response, Douglas Wilson has written his own little book: &quot;Letter From a Christian Citizen&quot;. As Gary DeMar writes in the foreword, &quot;Douglas Wilson has taken the operating assumptions of Sam Harris seriously and has shown what life would be like if the world were consistent with atheistic assumptions.&quot; Wilson attempts to dismantle Harris' arguments and demonstrate the positive impact Christianity has had on society.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book today and was torn about what to rate it.  Either two stars, or four.  So I opted for the Aristotelian mean.  <br/><br/>Why two stars?

The reason I said this is because Douglas seems to be talking to himself, thinking up stuff that Sam Harris might have said or meant without really trying to comprehend what Sam Harris said in his book.
