"The 10 Most Harmful Books"

Right. Books harm. Ideas harm. But innocent little white supremacists who try to kill judges are just misunderstood souls whose lives were ruined by books.

Let me let Karlo take you through this story because it is making me scream just thinking about it.

I suspect, however, that you can guess several of them, including Darwin's two most important books, anthropologist Margaret Mead's "Coming of Age in Samoa" and of course, the Kinsey Report.

Want to hear the top ranking book on my list? The Bible. Because it was written by men with an axe to grind and a hate to express who then passed it off errantly as "God's word". I doubt God had anything more to do with writing the Bible than Jesus sits on Bill Frist's lap during Senate sessions or than Tom DeLay has anything to do with actually feeding underprivileged kids.

If you want to know God, close the Bible and look in your heart and mind: part of His creation far more telling and true than "the good book".
