    I'm going to make a bold move by posting all nine parts here. For those who are unfamiliar with the two individuals, here's a little summary of these remarkable men.

    Sam Harris - Nontheistic neuroscientist who has written many books, including A Letter to a Christian Nation and The End of Faith. Both were successful bits of non-fiction and explored the fundamental cracks on the notions of faith and the dangers it could lead to. He's been an outspoken critic of religion for quite some time and acknowledges that there is some sort of neurological mishap and such. As any credible individual, he's a man of science and evidence.

    Chris Hedges - An apologist for religion and a long time reporter on international boundaries. He's explored countless places the typical human could never fathom to go under. Unlike Harris, he professes that religion and faith are essential and good, and we should not look to the bad as a reference as to how to view religion. A journalist with an open heart, and has witnessed many revelations in his lifetime.

    Here are seven of the nine videos for your convenience.
