Sam Harris at the Atheist Alliance International Convention

In my view Sam Harris had some of the most astute comments at this year's AAI convention. The text of his speech was earlier posted at RichardDawkins.net but is now available through YouTube.

Atheist Alliance International Convention Sold Out

Enormous demand at New Atheist Conference



The AAI Conference kicked off last night with keynote speeches by Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion) and Sam Harris (The End of Faith). Later today will be Christopher Hitchens (god is not Great) and actress Julia Sweeney (Letting Go of God).

There has been such a rush to attend that organizers have extended the deadline to sign up for a live stream of the conference proceedings. For more info on that see the AAI website.

There are several blogs that have promised to update those of us unable to be there in person.

No God Blog
Friendly Atheist
Free Mind Joe
Homo economicus' blog

Until they update their sites enjoy the following You Tube links:
