  • Condom use = Less people but happier richer more educated = Less miserable unhappy uneducated people to brainwash

    No Condom use = Big mass of unhappy poor uneducated AIDS infected people = Lots of miserable people to brainwash

    It is that simple. Just like the "when you die, if you've been good you get eternal happy life"

    "Ok, then I kill myself right now...."

    "Wowowowow....no...erhm...suic­ide is a sin...keep giving me 10% of your income until you die and THEN you get the eternal happy life"

  • @OrthodoxDarwinist Sorry, I know you made this comment a month ago. Just wondering if you could please provide me of the link for the video, or the reference in which Sam Harris condones Jewish terrorism. If I were a betting man I'd bet that I'll never hear from you, as you can't reference something you pulled out of your ass.

  • Since Sam Harris offered erratic rationale,he should be despised.He had no reasons just mere assertions,so what is he trying to prove?Nothing!

  • @cvanunen Well, Orthydoxy has the myopia that the single issue idiots always exhibit. It manifests as a complete blindness to reality or fairness.

  • @moopism I agree. I will add also, that commenting on certain politics between two seperate religions doesn't imply that he supports any of the dogma associated with them.

  • @cvanunen "In The End of Faith, Harris criticizes the Jewish faith and its followers: "... Judaism is as intrinsically divisive, as ridiculous in its literalism, and as at odds with the civilizing insights of modernity as any other religion. Jewish settlers, by exercising their "freedom of belief" on contested land, are now one of the principal obstacles to peace in the Middle East."

    It doesn't sound very condoning to me.....

    [edit]

  • @no1hoopsman I can see it clearly; Harris point is self defeating; just take your time and think about it the way you proclaim all free thinkers do ... listen to what is said by both parties, read what their basic position is, no rumours, just what the bottom line is and advise thereafter if what is said is wrong
