What religion is not ridiculous?

[lukeinoz]

244 dislikes for part 1

240 dislikes for parts 2,3,4, and Q&A part 1

241 dislikes for part 5

239 dislikes for Q&A part 2

What a CROCK… clearly a vote bot or a campaign by someone that feels threatened by reasonable discussion!!!

I used to believe in Isis and Zues. However, I also had to overcome mental disorder, a malfunctioned and dillusional mind. Honesty Saved me in a way that none of my other "gods" did in any "literal" sense. Atheism adn Nihilism are obviously superior to Religion as a general principle, to any completely logical and honest person.

yep, looks like a votebot - pt.3 had 240 dislikes too

[Roenazarrek]

I realize this is edgy and all but 240 dislikes seems like a bit much for sam harris, we get hit with a vote bot or something?

[johnpotter26]

Islam is a ridiculous religion but they flew the planes into buildings mostly for political reasons (justified by religion)

[rahotep101]

That America can produce someone like this reason to be hopeful.

[shandcunt]

Powerful speech, so much clarity
