Sam Harris at Idea CIty '05

Eskarina6 Says:

Sep 22, 2008 - LOL, you're an idiot, TAXtheAtheist.1) Explain the relevance of your assertion that Harris is a Jew. (How exactly does it bear upon this talk, regardless of truth/falsehood?)2) What "Jewish Aggressions"? You mean like how Harris thinks "Zionism" is stupid? (Yeah, THAT really sounds pro-"Jewish Aggressions". ROFL!)From your comment, you seem to think: being a Jew is even worse than being an atheist.What I read in this: you are "a bigot cloaked in the garb of a pig."

lucash21158 Says:

Sep 22, 2008 - Because they're too busy running around eating each other and having orgies with farm animals...duh

TAXtheAtheist Says:

Sep 23, 2008 - Exkarina6, it is clearly evident you are an angry woman. Hysterically out of control emotions.Sam is Jewish by blood- from his mother. If you knew the origins, you'd find that they are originally pharisees (money changers). Your assertion on your channel from Dawkins and Miller is arrogants without substance.Ken takes right out of the atheists' playbook with 95% impressive fact in his 'fused genome' theory, and 'sells' the rest in a slick, marketed package.

Eskarina6 Says:

Sep 23, 2008 - More totally irrelevant eructations, TAXtheAtheist?Much as Robert Ingersoll said so long ago, "Should it turn out that I [Sam or me] am the worst man in the whole world", the accuracy of Sam's (or my) statements remain fully intact and unreduced, still requiring consideration.So, are you going to continue "flinging poo" and pretending that that serves in the stead of a cogent argument? Or, would you care to actually answer the questions I posed?

jastingo Says:

Sep 26, 2008 - you sir, are brilliant

GayBot6900 Says:

Sep 27, 2008 - yes he is brilliantI wish that his ideas were tought in school the same way that darwins are (by that I mean I've heard about darwin in most grade school science classes, and A LOT of university courses)

FinnyFelipe Says:

Sep 27, 2008 - "If my reasons are good enough to believe what I believe You would helplessy believe what I belive!!"Good saying Sam!I agree!I also agree that "Whatever is true about spiritual and ethical cirsumstances has to transcend culture!"Still I belive in Jesus Christ!Am I contradicting myself?If it's not historically true that Jesus Christh is the Son of God and has risen from the dead, my belief is just religious nonsense...Now, there are good reasonable reasons to believe in Jesus...

senorfletch Says:

Sep 27, 2008 - lol I was responding to someone who said he was jewish. Some people seem to think if you are born to people that are jews you're a jew for life.

Sep 28, 2008 - Name them, and the evidence to back them.

cougarsrule45 Says:

Sep 28, 2008 - First of all I'm a Christian (you guys can attack me all you want for that I don't care), but as a Christian, I really do think it to be sad that many of my fellow Christians actually believe the end of the world will come in the next 50 years. The Bible gives no evidence for this. I DO believe the world will end, but it could be tomorrow or 10000 years from now. Point is the bible DOESN'T tell us. And you can see the affect it's having on unbelievers such as Sam Harris.

TrickOrTreat121 Says:

Sep 28, 2008 - His name.

TrickOrTreat121 Says:

Sep 28, 2008 - Does he believe in reincarnation?

4kFox Says:

Sep 28, 2008 - No, Sam doesnt believe in reincarnation.

TAXtheAtheist Says:

Oct 2, 2008 - cougarsrule45, (yes, cats rule =D) The Idea of the world ending in 50 years is a picking point of atheists. They find a few people who sternly believe this, and portray it as mainsteam Christianity. Every Good Christian know full well that the Bible says no body knows judgement day.Sam is a Jew cloaked in the garb of atheism. Sam Harris has Jewish Aggressions about him.

88think Says:

Oct 2, 2008 - You speak of the bible as if you actually have a reason to believe that what it says is true.

501spanishverbs Says:

Oct 4, 2008 - It is proposterous that there are people who still don't believe in evolution. It is a theory, which in science means it as close to proven as possible. We has seen evolution take place and we have overwhelming evidence to support it. How does the notion of some omniscient being with a lack of evidence supporting that he even wrote the bible (how do we know it wasn't some random dude?)make more sense? How is the idea of there being a God any different from ancient greek mythology?

mccote Says:

Oct 5, 2008 - No. I think what Sam meant to say was that Reincarnation is in the same boat as God and the Flying Spaghetti Monster: There is currently no evidence, but if someone can produce some, he'll gladly take a look.

UdallIn72 Says:

Oct 8, 2008 - It was pretty much exactly this that chased me from the faith.I went to Catholic school, and as such was taught to read the Bible "contextually," which basically means "ignore the stuff that doesn't make any sense."It was a genuine shock to my religious moderate system when I got out into the real world and found people who ACTUALLY believed a six hundred year old man once built a wooden boat the size of an aircraft carrier.

NX7901 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - Well said. Evolution is as much a theory as gravity. And until Christians can fly through the air like an airplane, I'm going to lean towards it being proven.

Oct 10, 2008 - I love how much the MC agreed with him. That was such an honestly loving hug.

Oct 10, 2008 - That's the funniest description of Noah that I've ever heard. I hope you don't mind if I steal it :)
