@anythingnew A blender... A bottle of aids... errrr... A small child in a car that's about to fall off a cliff... hmmmmmm... A dick shaped plug socket... Lorena Bobbitt (google it)... A moving train... A bear... A coal fire... An electric pencil sharpener... Anything in outer space... Bruce Lee... A japanese fighting spider... Your own ear... I know it sounds counterintuitive but there's lots of thing that aren't a good idea to fuck.

@lord69z Well there's no question that Hitchens was an absolute Titan. I've got to the point now that the issue of whether Religion is a good or bad thing has been settled. When I watch these debates now I tend to be hypercritical of the Atheist speaker's social attitude (I just ignore the religious speaker altogether). Watching PWNage (I hate that term) is fun but these days I get more out of Krauss, Harris & Fry.

Good to hear Sam applying a Wittgensteinian approach to language games. He easily refutes religious fundamentalists & dogmatic relativists. As usual, I endorse his idealism. However, as a pragmatic relativist, I observe that science in the ‘real’ world is now subordinated to political & financial agendas. What about omnipotent capitalist fundamentalists? They are fanatically obsessed with the God of profit. I wish Sam would focus his next erudite attack on these enemies of science & morality.

@MrLittletomdj Hitchens was the man. Take no prisoners.

Without a doubt Sam Harris is my favourite Atheistic speaker. Really thoughtful, engaging & even properly humurous at times. I've disagreed with Hitchens & Dawkins on several occasions yet, I've never had a gripe with Harris.
Thanks for the upload mate!

Atheism and agnosticism are two separate things. You are not one or the other. In fact, it is very plausible that you can be an agnostic atheist.
