The first person to mention Hitler loses the argument. (Godwins Law)

I wonder what the unedited version of this video was like.

Also, Sam Harris is so incredibly calm while Hugh just lies in front of his face. He just knows that whatever Hugh says he can combat with ease.

@j919or "Nah SH is the liar. He was caught in overgeneralizations by HUgh. They instead of addressing Hughs criticism he changes the subject."

Here's a generalization.

Hugh simply said: "...poorly grounded in history, science, theology. He doesn't deal with the evidence that runs counter to his case...will not deal with, or distort the evidence against your case...when you misdiagnose..."

Hugh simply asserts this, yet he gives no specific example of where and how Sam allegedly does this.

Sam Harris=1 .....Christian retard=0

@Stairc Right, well he should have said suicide bomber. Because christian Martyrs tend to go to china and get killed and they go to muslim countries and get beheaded.

[Stairc]

@desasterz Because the islamic idea of how to be a good martyr tends to be rather... Explosive.

"men are bad/evil and in need of saving"? this is what burns me up. i guess we are all bumbling. primates. in need of discipline. sounds like a way to control people .......

[desasterz]

Its not the free will theory, that makes men bad, its the fallen nature theory. "No one is righteous, no not one. No one understands. No one seeks for God. All have turned asside, together they have become worthless. No one does good. Not even one. Thier throat is an open grave, they use thier tounges to diceive, the venom of asps is under thier lips."

[MrShoeguy]

First 8:19 Hewitt complains about Sam Harris writing "anti-semitism is part & parcle to Christianity & has to be."

Then at 9:50 he CONFIRMS what Harris wrote when he defends Christianity by delineating between the God of the Old Testament & the reformation under Jesus.

Aspiring marders arent going to make good neighbours? Marders, thats a victim status. Thats people who die for what they beleive... If he knew that, how are they not going to make good neighbours?
