Another great classic from Sam Harris

[JanSchipper]

You might feel offended, believers. But he didn't say anything unreasonable.

@OrthodoxDarwinist Interesting how you can't stop responding for someone who doesn't want to "talk" to me.

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

@KryzMasta

Don't care. I don't talk to racist ethnic supremacist wankers like you.

[KryzMasta]

@OrthodoxDarwinist It seems to me that your brain isn't capable of thinking, let alone caring about anything beyond where you get your next breath and McDonalds meal from. Now stop trying to use big words you can't seem to spell.

@KryzMasta

I don't give a shit about your bizarre fundamentalist religious believes about Jewish ethnic supremact.

[KryzMasta]

@OrthodoxDarwinist A quote from youir beloved Wikipedia, just so you know what you're dealing with:

"For instance, he cites polls showing that 44% of Americans believe [...] that God has literally promised the land of Israel to the modern-day Jews."

This is an integral part of his criticism against religion, and shows that he does NOT support the belief that Israelites hold a valid claim on the "promised land".

Hereby endeth the lesson.

[KryzMasta]

@OrthodoxDarwinist [continued] "the political discourse throughout much of the Muslim world, especially with respect to Jews, is explicitly and unabashedly genocidal. ... Given these distinctions, there is no question that the Israelis now hold the moral high ground in their conflict with Hamas and Hezbollah."

That's QUITE a different context there. And if you can't see that, try not to mingle in these discussions, they're beyond your level of understanding. Bye now. :)

[KryzMasta]

@OrthodoxDarwinist Ah, now I see! You took this straight from Wikipedia! And you tell ME to go to school?! Hah, what a screamer. Let's take the FULL quote, shall we?

"For instance, [liberals] ignore the fact that Muslims intentionally murder noncombatants, while we and the Israelis (as a rule) seek to avoid doing so. Muslims routinely use human shields, and this accounts for much of the collateral damage we and the Israelis cause"... [continued]

[KryzMasta]

@OrthodoxDarwinist And by the way, what kind of childish, petty remark, clearly used to hide your own insecurity is "go to school"? No school teaches Harris' views on judaism. What some schools do teach is how to argue your point. So, take that hint. :)

[KryzMasta]

@OrthodoxDarwinist Look, I really wouldn't mind having a useful discussion with you on this subject. but if you show the debating skills of a 5 year old, then what's the point? My quote shows, in context, that Harris thinks zionism is "not useful", meaning he is far from a supporter.

Your quote simply does not state any context whatsoever; it could be referring to a specific incident, to a viewpoint, or a strategic political choice... In other words: your argument is void.
