In case you’ve missed it, Sam Harris and Mark Oppenheimer are engaged in an online moderated debate at the Economist website.
I love the very British way of framing the question: “This house believes that religion is a force for good.” Oppenheimer is for the proposition; Harris is against it. You can also vote on the proposition. So far, it’s losing by a spread of three to one.

I’m planning to post some of the livelier parts here with my comments. In the meantime, go on over to the site and vote!
