Cognitive Dissonance, I’m not sure what you are getting at.
Never said you should. I expressed my opinion here on IMHO, as I’m wont to do.
I would be curious though to know why you think Sam Harris wrote what I linked to if there was no substance to it?
ETA: Quercus, it’s not like I said all the evildoers in the world are Muslim. But I would say that while I’m against all religions, Islam seems the worst, AINEC.
I, for one, have decided to renounce my affiliation with radical Islam.
Note: this is a sarcastic comment.
Because he’s an asshole?
See, now I think Harris is completely awesome. I can’t think of any other public figure, or for that matter anyone I know personally, whose views I more consistently and strongly endorse.
So what about him IYO makes him an asshole?
Well, I read this one column of his where he grossly distorts the positions of liberals in regards to religious tolerance in order to make a fundamentally bigoted argument. That was pretty assholish.
If you are yourself a liberal, Miller, your calling him “bigoted” shows it not to be a straw man at all.
SlackerInc, you’re quite right for the most part. All religions are poisonous, but Islam is one of the worst, at least these days. At other times in history, the situation was different. Many, many people on the left are afraid to criticize Islam, for fear of being thought racist. Thankfully, European feminists and LGBT advocates know better. While they do/will need to import workers, there are lots of available non-Muslims out there, in order to even out the balance. That, and citizenship can be made conditional on being taught the modern values of the receiving country.
Nobody is born with religion. Usually, parents put that drivel into their children’s brains, but in any case, it’s a choice.
All is not lost. Take the long view. It wasn’t that long ago that even Afghanistan had a government that was touting feminism and state atheism.
But you know that it is because?
That was an awesome government, true. Which makes Carter’s Olympic boycott especially wrongheaded.
If you think the logic there makes sense, I guess it’s no wonder you’re a fan of Harris.
I’m pretty sure that the Islamic Death Cult hasn’t trademarked the term.
are you implying that Mcveigh killed in the name of a particular religion?
FWIW, McVeigh was an agnostic.
Actually, he was associated with the Christian Identity movement.
Actually he wasn’t. there’s nothing in his bombing of the Federal Building that is remotely attributed to any religious affiliation or cause. You simply cited something on the internet and made a claim with nothing within the cite to back it up.
No, I mentioned something fairly well known, and provided a link clarifying the definition of the phrase “Christian Identity” - not a “cite” of anything - for anyone who had no idea what Christian Identity meant.
I’ll go one step farther and propose that Sunni and Shia Islam are not our allies under any circumstances.
No, you didn’t provide something fairly well known. He was an agnostic. Which was in the cite I provided.
If A + B = C, if A is a real number greater than zero (don’t make me pull up Miller’s posts as cites) and if A > C, then by the properties of addition, doesn’t A - C = B?
I love it when I can cement an initial opinion with a proof.

One Short Pier for Bigotry. 
PS- an Awful lot of new lock-step FOX talking point conservative posters lately. Are the Koch Brothers boiler rooms firing up early for an election year?
To whom does this refer? As the OP, I certainly hope you don’t mean me!
