He looks like Ben Stiller's older, more useful brother.

[ChuckyHammer]

I like the work of Bill Maher on religion, but he is so off on vaccines and other issues that he is of no use to the secular/skeptic "movement".

[phildirt3]

@ChuckyHammer i disagree he s very radical and right most of the time people are idiots and he knows it

[no1hoopsman]

There are millions in this world who are deluded and happy, but don't know it, many are deluded and unhappy, it has nothing to do with religion I suggest; many are happy there is a war in Iraq & Afghanistan (need to get the bad guys) and Bin Laden was the archetypal bad guy (got him) when he wasn't fighting for us of course ... and then there is the new God on the block ... the TV in the corner, but no ... more prominent now ... right in the centre ..is that Big Brother there?

[Protoman85]

86 people are deluded and unhappy

[mattakudesu]

this guy has seth greens face and ben stillers hair and ears. its kind of weird.

[Jontish316]

@JoshwithaJ Yeah, but i find he resembles Seth Green somewhat also :O

[Lennon4ever1]

@uriituw It is nothing but a house of cards built on empty promises and empty threats and is a complete waste of a person's time and energy.

[richwfd2002]

@franciszek8D And how typically hypocritical of the religious ilk, like you, to denigrate science while reaping all the benefits of it. You guys are so arrogant and pathetic.

[richwfd2002]

@franciszek8D Proof please. Hearsay and appeals to emotion do not cut it.

[Keysteeze]

"I can't really complain." = I have made plenty of money.

@hellodave2006 Lol about the ashrams - so true. But you know that Sam Harris has a Buddhist shrine in his house and meditates regularly, right? He's not a Buddhist, but he does use meditation to explore the possibilties of human consciousness. Some atheists would like to do the same, but don't know how because they don't want to hang out with flakes in ashrams. A place where atheists could learn these techniques without the religious garbage that normally goes along with it would be great.
