You called me a fundamentalist mother f**ker, so f**k you!! You don't know the first thing about me. Just because you aren't intelligent enough to understand Sam doesn't mean you get to label him with such insults. Open up your mind you ****!!

I did not call you a fundamentalist, i just said that you approach scriptures the way harris does, like a fundamentalist.
again, take it easy buddy. insults are not going to help your point.

and btw:

If I could wave a magic wand and get rid of either rape or religion, I would not hesitate to get rid of religion.
sam harris, your idol.


dont ban him please, he is a cool dude and apparently he misunderstood what i was trying to explain.

Maybe go read his blog and you can understand him. You have just taken one sentence (probably out of context) and assumed it means something that it most likely doesn't. He gets accusations like this all the time, and he has an explanation and rebuttal for all of them. His critics do the same thing you are doing, and they all end up with egg on their face.

if i want to learn about physics i don't go and ask an anthropologist.
if i want to learn about religion, i dont go to a neuroscientist.

harris is a media creation that fit Fox agenda, he is a fascist that hate what is different, he is not the voice of knowledge.
he is the guy that measures your head to determine criminality.
but again, i dont want to discuss harris with you because you have already made your mind about it.
but just because i like you, stop talking like you do about this topic publicly, it make you look worst than a blondie from fox news.

if you are interested in religion i can give some cool signpost/reference towards knowledge, if you are interesting in hate and pseudoscience you continue the harris path.

Right, we could argue forever about Sam, but I honestly believe you're wrong about him. I know how he comes off, but if you dig deep into his meaning, and reasoning, you would see that you're wrong about him, like many people are.

If one day I find out I'm wrong about him, then I will admit it. He's a very misunderstood person because many people only see whats on the outside of his words, they don't give it enough thought or time to see what he actually means. The average person can't even comprehend him, I have a hard time myself, but that doesn't mean I don't.

We agree on this topic anyway, you just chose to bash me about harris, which was way off the original topic.

he is a best seller buddy.
derrida is hard to comprehend.

Are you saying that since he's a best seller that people correctly comprehend him? You don't have to take a comprehension quiz before you buy a book ya know! You're thinking is what I like to call black and white thinking. If something ain't black to you, then it must be white (metaphorically of course). You'd fit right in here in Merica!!!

On religion being a pile of poo.

The problem with not just Sam but with the new atheists in general is that they give atheism a bad name. My greatest intellectual heroes are all atheists, whether I'm talking about [Arthur] Schopenhauer, or [Sigmund] Freud, or Marx, or [Ludwig] Feuerbach. These were the people who gave birth to the modern world. They were the people who gave birth to the enlightenment. But they were experts in religion. They understood religion and then criticized it from a place of expertise, and there is lots to criticize about religion as you have rightly said.]

I have some sympathy for that view and often find militant atheists a pain in the f***ing arse, but they are right however they spin it.
