Sam Harris Religion is a failed science

[PrinceWalter]

The "if-then conditional" does not always appear in traditional "if-then" form, but in the case of Mat 19:17 the hypothesis has been specifically identified.

IF thou wilt enter into life (P), (THEN) keep the commandments (Q).

P -> Q

If the Apostle Paul is "contrary" in Rom 3:28 and Gal 3:11, then LOGICALLY CONCLUDE the truth of the Antecedent (P) without Affirming the Consequent (Q)...

Hello. I am looking for an atheist that uses logic in his videos and debates. DO YOU KNOW ANY?

[Ertjee88]

Has this guy ever seen a possessed person??

[Lowraith]

@Ertjee88

No one has. I think that might be part of his point.

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

Anyone may believe whatever they wish, as long as behavior motivated by that belief does not bring harm to anyone, excepting, if neccesary, self-defense.

Layer your favorite music quietly over Sam for an extreme emotional strike! (Try it!)

[An0maly777]

Sam Harris is great.

He is intelligent, articulate, well read and educated.

Maybe thisis why he is always so polite to everyone.

I wish he was a bit harder on ignorants like Hitchens...

;)

@An0maly777 You forgot to mention he also looks like Ben Stiller.

if he made this video about the islam he would now be dead soi soi soi

After my breakaway from religion (during my undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University, of all places), I've decided to pursue a psychology/Neuroscience PhD and investigate WHY people believe things that they do.

@rooshio1

Thats what my graduate school thesis is focused on!. Im happy to hear others interested in that topic, I wish you luck. Reading Wundt is actually a very good place to start you investingation.

cheers

christopher hitchins does this better than you. Why do something if you are not the best? .Do me a favor,son, quit distracting the masses from better information and more facts.

@probber66 DO you suffer from mental retardation???

[xnorthcarolinax]

explain the origin of nature then with regards to the law of conservation of matter and the second law of thermodynamics, this is moot as to whether a religion is right or wrong, but a naturalistic view of the nature cannot explain nature, so on a naturalistic view a person can deduct two conclusions: there is a supernatural cause or nature has always existed, they are both equally founded.

[BrentFewster]

Given a completely west-centric view of science, he makes a good point. But in truth he fails to do so.

YOUR ASS!

[jordopia]

This guy's book "Letter to a Christian nation" is pure gold. If you can read, get your hands on this one.

[lazyitus]

i totally agree! i want to tell everyone i know about him (and Dawkins and Hitchens)

[Gforcer80]

@lazyitus Im doing that now. I love all three of those guys. I feel so motivated by them to call out religion, Im pissing everyone around me off. But I love it.

[Wrahns]

@Gforcer80 You keep speaking out mate, And if the religious take offence, then take offence right back, remind them the only reason they claim this Hyper-Offence taking is because of the heart-ache and hardship they caused when they were the in-power force. I applaud anyone that doesn't step down from the self proclaimed pious and humble religious. As they are the ones that would quickly go back to the atrocities of old give the power too, and they are flat out liars if they say they wouldnt.

@jordopia Problem is, most people can't anymoar. Ignorance in America is killing us!

[MrJohnnyrace]

@ReverendPopeFoxyFox Religions prey upon the weak minded. Thats their income.

Reason guides our attempt to understand the world about us. Both reason and compassion guide our efforts to apply that knowledge ethically, to understand other people, and have ethical relationships with other people.
