Sam Harris: End Of The World 1/6

The View From The End Of The World with Sam Harris.
With gentle demeanor and tight argument, Sam Harris carried an overflow audience into the core of one of the crucial issues of our time: What makes some religions lethal? How do they employ aggressive irrationality to justify threatening and controlling non-believers as well as believers? What should be our response?

Dear Mr. Harris, please stop worrying about offending people.

What you say, needs to be said.

If that offends people, they only have themselves to blame.

I love this lecture I listen to it every few months. Fora.tv is a fantastic website with many full length unbroken videos like the Hitchens-Sharpton debate.

@TomFynn You make a good point. What is incredibly ironic is the fact that if he was using the same words of critisism in any other discourse, it is totally tolerated, but when we change the subject to religion, all of a sudden a force field is erected to deflect the exact same criticism that was not taken to offence at all in an alternate discourse, just silly ...

@TomFynn The ignorant need not blame themselves. The blame should be on those who have let religious ideas run rampant for centuries with no checks.
