He hits the point right on the head: religion gets a free ride. You can believe whatever you want and get away with it in our society. And when people try to force religion on others they claim it's their right to do so and criticizing that is tantamount to trying to destroy their religion (like this whole War on Christianity nonsense). The moment an idea, belief, or opinion becomes sacred and taboo to discuss is the moment tyranny begins. Nothing is sacred. Nothing should be beyond reproach or criticism.

@@themaskedman221 You don't think "if you don't believe what we say, you will burn in hell forever" involves a psychological compulsion? Christianity has always used fear and threats to FORCE people to submit. And when the indoctrination starts at a very young age, when people have no chance to evaluate what they are being told, you don't regard that as "forcing"?
You are absolutely right. People are making outrageous statements under the guise of religion that would not be tolerated elsewhere. Religious beliefs, like all other ideas, should be open to challenge rather than automatically respected.
@healthymealthy775 Look them up, stop being lazy. The Bible has about 100 contradictions, false information, and straight-up lies. That fairytale is terribly written 😂.
@sk8ermGs to be fair all politicians are bad, a billionaire politician isn't any better, arguably could be worse, politicians are already to distant to us, they aren't even considering citizens anymore, they get away with so much with almost no risk. They send men and women to die in wars for nothing, and aid random countries with money and weapons while our economy is in the dumpster, while also using god as a weapon, and people are so delusional they think they made a good decision on the person they vote for. Like we aren't just lambs ready to slaughtered. Life's hard but when did it become so shit people stopped thinking with any rationality. Arguing about nothing while these scumbags running to the bank while we're buried under the rubble they leave behind. Quite literally the best and worst time to be alive. More technology than we know what to do with and at the same time it feels like we're sitting here waiting for the black hole to suck us in. It's 3am and I'm ranting but it's infuriating.
The world of religion is black or white. The reality is more complicated than religions try to explain. The religion is very often used to gather power to traditional part of society.

As anyone who grew up in a Christian religious family in the early 1950s should know, there was a host of good, gentle, moral, humane, decent and caring individuals who made up those families and churches.

@@antbrown9066 Well, I realize this interaction is totally meaningless. There is no need for you to write the same thing a third time, or write anything. Not interested.
@@FactStorm Everyone believes something whether they are conscious of it or not. And that belief determines their state of being and how they function in the world. For most people the core belief is that I am a physical body that was born and will die despite there being zero scientific proof for this. The problem is that the body is an object and objects can be manipulated and abused because you are just an object. And when an object (I identified as body) gets into difficulties then there is nothing to fall back on and a suicide can occur. I agree that the mainstream religions have run their course but they need to be replaced with something or chaos will eventually ensue.
Enjoy wasting your life ranting and raving about something you have no control over. Most people don't leave religion because somebody talked some reason into them -especially if that 'somebody' is a fawning minion of Sam Harris. People leave religion mostly because of anxiety, anger and fear -that is, for emotional reasons. The earliest traces of atheism in the Christian West are not found among The Great Men of the Enlightenment; they were all emotional doubters. Even today, the rising tide of secularism in the US is mostly the result of scandals in the Catholic Church and the various Evangelical scandals and hypocrisies, not because of polemicists like Harris.
@@Hambone3773 If God creates Adam and talks to him regularly, Adam knows for a fact there is a God. He'd tell his kids that, they'd tell their kids. There wouldn't have even been the thought that there were other gods. There could be different factions of the same religion, but there wouldn't be the multiple sets of the pantheon of the gods to be worshipped in very different ways. The gods of the Native Americans versus the gods of the Greeks versus the gods of the Aborigines, versus Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Wiccanism. If God was real, there would only be one religion.
@hogenmogen8545 Why would you assume that over tens of thousands of years that a non-codified monotheism would never evolve into pantheisms or polytheisms? All religious belief came from some common ancestral source whether that belief is true or not. The first person who came to belief in some sort of creator shared that belief. The only question is what does that evolution look like. It's more probable that religion began as somewhat monotheistic or even as ancestor worship and that gods were then added to pantheons over time than to think it started with a fully formed polytheism and then whittled gods away.
According to anthropology, all religions are based on the worship of the stars and planets since day one of mankind. We tell kids to stop talking to imaginary friends, but what do people do in churches, and at dinner tables before the meal? Make believe is fine for children, but when adult it is a problem.
@@FactStorm Thank you, I wasn't sure if I made it understandable enough, I have spent 40 years studying ancient religions and Astrotheology, and if only people knew the truth churches, synagogues and mosques would be out of business.
I don't give a crap what anthropologists say. Genuine religion worships a genuine God. Whether or not you believe that is an entirely different matter. Your task is to prove there is NO God. The rest of us are satisfied with our beliefs, and we have NO need to pay heed to all of you self righteous imbeciles.

@@antbrown9066 most human knowledge is based on experience, trial and error. Sure, sometimes it takes decades or more to get to the "truth" ( I am assuming you define "truth" as " the final and ultimate answer"). Religion is only based on words from other people,, and more often than not.. an old book that makes claims noone can prove to be true, and many that can be proven to be false. Daily knowledge based on experience and trial and error, can change as more things are understood about them. We have learned a lot about medical issues over time. People who follow their faith, rather then this new understanding, often die.. ir have their children die.. because they refused the modern way, and " had faith in gods plan". So no,, religious faith is based in nothing more than unproven claims that you are not allowed to question. The other "beliefs" are based in a steadily increase of gathered information,

They're everywhere here in the south. It's shocking that so many adults fall for that. I knew by about 7 something was just seriously off about religion.
My friend Stu, born and raised in a traditional Jewish family, now a successful astrophysicist and a fierce atheist, can't really give an explanation for having his two sons circumcised other than adhering to family traditions and hygiene issues. A grown man with a profound knowledge on the ongoing development of the universe can't resist both fallacies. I fear there is no hope for the rest of us uneducated masses…
Stu had a hard decision. Conform to societal norms or potentially ostracize his kid from his peers. Boys' locker rooms can be brutal. My uncircumcised friend would not shower after practice because of the fear of being so different in such a sensitive area. The fear was not unfounded. Porn, tradition, and bullying all normalize this ritual, making it a harder decision than at first glance. Morally, you're right. It's a tradition that is unfounded. But practically speaking, the one you harm is not yourself. So, it's a trolly problem of sorts. Don't pull the lever, and you enable the future moral indiscretion, but your child blends in. Pull the lever, achieve a moral victory, but you have now played a star role in potentially ostracizing your kid among his peers. I was circumsized. I want to say I would not circumsize my son. But the amount of relief I felt at having a daughter tells me that I may not have been so steadfast in that conviction. Cut Stu some slack. It's hard to break the cycle. Especially since you aren't the one that directly deals with the consequences of your decision. People tend to want to play it safe, understandably so.
‘Hygiene issues’ is total bollocks. Come to Europe and see how many are circumcised. I bet most Americans would find FGM to be barbaric, but when it comes to boys you are brainwashed by convention. A million operations a year…ka-ching!
This may sound absurd, but I've studied esoteric knowledge and have found this to be true: The reason for circumcision is to remove the cheese flavor from the phallus.

Sam Harris forgets that in the 20th century well over 100 million people were killed by atheists. Nazi Germany, Stalin's Russia, Mao's China, Pol Pot's Cambodia and more. His reading of the New Testament is superficial. Around 100 AD several secular writers referred to the existence of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Take a copy of the NT and cut out all references to the resurrection of Jesus. That NT will be in tatters. Without the resurrection Christianity could not exist. But it did and still does. Hence it is based on reality. Through the ages people called Christian's have done atrocious things. That was because they disobeyed Jesus, proving they were not real Christians.
@@johnrowland9570 You're liar. Nazis were believers, they even had "Got mitt uns" (God with us) on their belts. Stalin and Mao were communists, not atheists. Same with Pol Pot.

Some Buddhists commit suicide in protest against Chinese domination. But the Buddhist monks of Tibet are misusing small boys that have been entrusted into their care by the children's parents.

Thank you Mr. Harris, it occurred to me while listening that the only people taking god’s name in vain, are those who claim that any other religion than Christianity, etc. will result in damnation. Saying god same is not taking god’s name in vain, but damning someone else to hell is said to be god’s right alone, so anyone claiming another group is damned is yet another flaw of religious belief.
The entire Bible is man made stories to explain that which they did not understand in the earlier years of humanity. It has been a crutch for the world for thousands of years. It needs to go. Almost every w@r ever fought was for greed, real estate, and power in the name of a self proclaimed God, or religion. Of the thousands of Gods and Goddesses, which one do you bow down to? I bow down to no one, personally. I'm a giving loving and caring person that doesn't need a book to tell me right from wrong or where my "soul" is going when I leave this world. I will be dead. I didn't exist, I was born and as of now I am 59 years old, when I die, I will cease to exist. What's so hard about that? Science has traced every single thing on our planet to a SINGLE common single celled organism known as LUCA: LUCA is an acronym for "last universal common ancestor," which is the most recent organism that all cellular life on Earth descends from. LUCA is a node on the tree of life, and the point at which the fundamental prokaryotic domains of Archaea and Bacteria diverge. I am going with the science. No Gods, No Masters! Take care of fellow humans and animals, that's what WE, homosapiens, should be able to do. But no, we have to have greed, control and power disguised as religious beliefs. You do you, but don't push your beliefs on me because I will walk away. Your religious beliefs end where MY civil LIBERTIES begin! Period!
There was a Roman Catholic family living neae us when I was A child (in the 1960s) The son, who was about 10 years old came to us as we had a phone and his family didn't. He asked for us to call an ambulance as his mum was sitting on a bucked and it was filling with blood (A Haemorrhage). She was admitted to hospital and told she needed a Hysterectomy. The Catholic priest (A VERY traditional man) told her that she would be excommunicated if she went ahead with the operation as it meant she could no longer have children and it was a 'Mortal Sin'. She said "Fine, if I don't have the operation I'll die, and that's tantamount to suicide, which is also a mortal sin". She had the operation, was excommunicated. She didn't care as the priest had destroyed her faith in an instant.
" If there's any sensible question to answer, I believe that it is done via philosophy. Whatever it is that makes religion "religion" -- mystical claims to knowledge, a belief in the supernatural, etc. -- are mistaken. Whatever is left over that is good about religious institutions, including a sense of community, artistic inspiration, charitable organization, etc., is no less available to the secular and the rational." -Anonymous-from an Objectivist forum
The things that 10 year olds believe! In North America or Europe, that priest would have had a pretty good education. So he would not have been so ignorant about theology to say such a thing. I suspect you heard some anti Catholic propaganda.
The problem with the old Jewish concept of a messiah is that it was and is based on tribalistic belief in manifest destiny, not on ideals of universal brotherhood, justice, freedom, and equality. This is true of virtually all forms of religion that only extend the grace and blessings of God to members of the tribe, or race of believers. But, that is not what Christ taught when he walked on earth 2,000 years ago: "Come, oh beloved of my father, and inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundations of the earth." "I have come that you may have life and have it in abundance." "Do nothing to anyone you would not have done to you. Do not judge, for as you judge others so shall you be judged. And by the measure you use it shall be measured to you. Treat all others as you would be treated for that sums up the Law and the Prophets." In those concise clear words Christ outlines the steps each and every one of us can take in our daily lives to end for all time the centuries of self-inflicted suffering of humanity. He states that our judgment of others defines our own life condition. To the extent that we cause others to suffer we cause ourselves the very same suffering. And that has been the case now every day and night for eons. Had the early Roman Catholic Church truly followed Christ's teachings there would never have been centuries of war and persecution based on religion. No Spanish Inquisition. No violent suppression of protestant denominations. Had Constantine I truly initiated the bond between church and state in 325AD as Christ taught and exemplified there never would have been centuries of self-proclaimed "royalty" professing to be God's chosen rulers on earth. The self-enrichment, self-glorification and empowerment that monarchs indulged in for over 1,500 years was in direct contradiction to Christ's definition of true leadership: "He who would be great among you must be your servant. He who would be the first must be your slave just as the Son of Man has come not to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many." The good news? We, the people our life-sustaining, miraculously abundant planet Earth that is full of life as found on no other planet for 90 billion light years in every direction can truly establish liberty and justice for all humanity the moment we turn from the darkness of past blindness, injustice, selfish greed, and disregard for other human beings and establish what Christ called the kingdom of heaven. His words have the power to create truly lasting peace and prosperity for all people everywhere on Earth. "I am the truth, the life, and the way." "Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden light."

@@BeefT-Sq that is quite a whim. no, you don't get to write what moral is, because true moral exists already, it is not you who introduces it, you are already grown up in it. the fact that moral can have more than one definition, it does not change the fact that there is one true moral. true moral has nothing to do with any god, and also not with personal whim. moral is impossible to guess, to know, if you neglect other things. other things are easier to know, so moral is the harder to know. other thing you can know without any moral, therefore moral you can know only if you know other things. moral is what the other things are not, that is the story of it. moral can only be result of long and systematic education. first things to know, are aggression and easiness of life. bad times and good times. therefore moral is different. moral is about reciprocity, therefore is about good in times of bad, and bad in times of good. moral is not about choosing happiness for yourself, not at all times. moral is about choosing good for yourself, when good is denied for you, and bad for yourself, when it is good. moral is not an unconditional good. when somebody says it is not moral for you to go to school, to find your love, you tell that somebody go to hell. when somebody tells you how good is to drive a car, you go to hell.
Sam hits one out of the park. I love how he efficiently targets the problem. It isn't a matter of faith or which God, it is how it can impact critical thinking. We have technology in existence that we can't afford to use this thinking anymore. Imagine someone that puts an AI into a robot 50 years from now that enforces some religious doctrine absolutely. He is always great at highlighting how eastern religions differ from the Abrahamic.

Wasn't Paul secretly working for the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't all of the original Roman Catholic Saints' members of the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't all of the original symbols used by the earliest Christians identical to those of the Flavian Dynasty? And isn’t one of the earliest iconographic symbols for Christianity, located in a catacomb, under the city of Rome, which was owned by a Flavian Princess? Weren't all of the original Jesus cult texts produced under the oversight of the Flavian Dynasty? Didn't the Flavian Dynasty posses the only remaining copy of the Hebrew Tanakh other than the Greek Septuagint translation? Isn't there Flavian typology in the Gospels? Weren't the canonical texts all back dated like the historical fiction of Gone With The Wind? Wasn't Emperor Vespasian known as the Jewish Messiah? Wasn’t Pope Clement of Rome a Flavian? Wasn't Josephus a temple whore for the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't the Flavian’s, as well as Paul, descended from King Herod? There was no separation of Church and State in the Roman Empire. And Christianity is clearly a Greco-Roman hybrid form of Judaism created by the Flavian Dynasty. As an attempt to adapt, pacify, and integrate the rebellious and defiant Jews into the rest of the Greco-Roman Empire. Just like the Greeks created Hermes Trismegistus to integrate Egyptian mythology with Greek mythology.Then finally Neo-Flavian Constantine chose the Flavian family religion to be the official religion of the entire Roman Empire. In order to consolidate power in his fractured Empire. And then Eusebius edited and rewrote the history of the previous 3OO years. Destroying all contradictory evidence. It isn't history it is all simply Greco-Roman mythopoetic literature. Today it is known as Historical Fiction. “What profit hath not this fable of Christ brought us.” Pope Leo X 💙
you think? i would not be religious, even if i knew with certainty that there is a god. you all miss the point of atheism. atheism is not about not believing that which is not proven. atheism is not believing, no matter if there is god. atheism is not about proofs, it is about not adhering. true atheism is not about not believing, it is about not accepting. even if god exists, i do not accept his patronage, not that way. if there is a god, he can only talk respectfully to me, or go away. this is the meaning of the word atheist
@@Sergiu.antifascist This is a great example of the no true scotsman fallacy. Atheism is very simply the lack of belief in a god. So, my personal take on the concept of god, like an interfering god, one that can do stuff, I don't buy it. As to the concept that some intelligence may have created the universe, I have no way to test it, so I kinda don't care. That makes me an agnostic atheist, with respect to the god question overall. With respect to the biblical god yahweh, I am an anti-theist, that's gotta be bullshit, and even if he was real, I would not follow him, as he is a baby murdering scumbag. So, hey look, you learned a new word today, and how it applies to you. Have a nice day.

Great compilation. Love, expressed through a commitment to human wellbeing, is the only available basis for a truly moral society. Religious dogma, developed in order to sustain empires and institutions since ancient times, exists to justify whatever evil in necessary to sustain power and privilege.

I'll never forget the day I was at a family wedding with my husband and our 2 year old son, a friend of my husbands family asked if we were going to have our son christened.

The comparison between Islam and Buddhism is partly true, the core values of Buddhism is very far from violence so it would take a lot of persuading to make a Buddhist terrorist, but it is not entirely impossible. Buddhist of Myanmar and Sri Lanka are living examples of violence. If we look closely at the Muslims of Myanmar they did not resort to terrorism on the face of violent persecution by Buddhists, so terrorism based on Islam is thus not just religious but also has a cultural and regional catalyst. All the Abrahamic religions are inherently violent, the Old testament calls for genocide, loot, abuse of even children and life stock that makes all the Abrahamic religions root cause for terrorism, a continued state of violence in the middle east is also the reason for Terrorism. Lets not forget that Ashoka in order to spread Buddhism beyond his territories employed violence despite Buddhism preaching non violence. Also lack of inherent violence in Buddhism was the reason for its down fall in India as it was not able to stop the on slaughter of the Vedic religion. Religion need to be inherently violent for their survival and those religions that are not violent enough cease to exist, the religious extremist and moderates in all religion know this. That is why any and all religion are bad for human existence.

I am an agnostic Korean, and while atheists may not make sacrifices or risk their lives driven by religious beliefs like missionaries, I acknowledge the profound impact Christian missionaries had in Korea. Over 10,000 U.S. and Western missionaries were killed while spreading the teachings of the Bible, helping to improve civil rights, education, and prosperity. In the early 20th century, during the Chosun Dynasty, nearly half of Korea's population lived in slavery, marking one of the longest periods of indentured servitude in history, spanning approximately 1,500 years. Missionaries played a crucial role in education, establishing 796 schools by 1910, including medical schools and universities. At the time, 90% of Koreans were illiterate, so missionaries had to educate the population in order for them to read and learn the Bible. Notably, Mary Fletcher Benton Scranton founded the first schools for Korean women. Through these efforts, Christianity introduced human rights and economic improvements, significantly contributing to Korea's rapid development.
The intention isn't genuine or well-directed if its laden with proselytization efforts and goals to try and convince others to convert, and believe in things without evidence. Bait & switch..a classic. Einstein's classic quote always comes to mind: "If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed". Even Hamas offers social services, so what? Does that make their core doctrine true or moral? No. It just means there are elements and individuals within any group that do good despite religion. If an agenda is there, instead of doing good for the sake of good - then the whole premise of an ethical & genuine approach is void.
@@FactStorm I totally understand your concerns about proselytization and belief without evidence, and I also see where you're coming from with the Hamas example. Maybe some religions do fall into that category. However, I believe Christianity, especially how it impacted Korea, is different. And just to clarify, I’m not a Christian, but I do believe that Christianity has brought about many positive changes. As a Korean, I can only speak to the profound influence US and Western Christians had on Korea, for which I am incredibly grateful. For over 4,000 years, Korea was an atheist society where the king and nobles, a mere 2% of the population, ruled over the rest. In 1910, half the population were slaves, and the law at that time treated them as property. Masters had the legal right to kill, rape, or torture their slaves without consequence-this was the harsh reality. Western and US Christian missionaries, believing that every human is made in the image of God, advocated for the dignity and value of all individuals. These beliefs contributed significantly to social transformation in Korea, freeing millions from a system of oppression. Sure, their beliefs may not always be rooted in evidence in the scientific sense, but their faith drove humanitarian actions that helped shift Korea toward a more just society. More than 10,000 missionaries, many from the US, lost their lives in Korea while spreading these values, yet their influence helped promote individual rights and freedom. While evidence is critical in many aspects of life, it’s also true that some of the most profound changes in history come from belief and faith. Christianity, in this case, led to positive changes that gave people hope and freedom.

Before you all go praising Sam Harris' rationality, be aware that Sam Harris has in recent times believes that some races are biologically superior to others - especially mentally - and he believes the science supports this view it.
I got an “A” in Scientific Atheism, that was a requirement for a medical student in a Soviet Union university, so why am I listening to this eloquent man? Because logic and reason are so appealing and I am lazy to switch to another video. It’s true, that the population of the American continent is clinging to it”s Bibles, and the most religious are, also, clinging to their AR15 style weapons of war. Love thy neighbor, but keep your high capacity magazines loaded 😂😢
Love thy neighbor does not mean to lie down when your neighbor, who happens to believe in survival of the fittest, wants to kill you and your family because they think themselves to be the super race. "God asks, who will stand in the gap of the wall" with his sword to protect others and give his life if necessary. Hmmmmmm. That Jesus called the greatest form of love. V
Scientific Atheism? Therein lies a conflict. Science is not a belief system. Atheism is. No connection. False logic. I would give you an F for fail. Belief. You do realise that most of human knowledge is belief, faith, trust. The challenge is to find truth.
@@antbrown9066 Science--AS IT IS TAUGHT TODAY--is a BELIEF SYSTEM--QUOTE: “We have a prior commitment, a commitment to naturalism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. Lewontin, Richard (1997), “Billions and Billions of Demons,” The New York Review, January 9.

@@antbrown9066 Atheism is not a belief system. It’s the lack of belief in deities. Why do you spam this channel so much? Just sit quietly and listen and maybe you will learn something.
@@HeirOfNothingInParticular that is where you are wrong. Atheism is most certainly a position. It is therefore a belief system. You cannot take a position without forming an opinion (belief) of a concept. Naturalist science excludes the possibility of intelligent designer. It starts with an established exclusion criteria. This is a belief. Atheists Believe that there is no such thing as an intelligent designer or if you like, deity. This is not spam. It is a response to an incorrect position which you are asserting. You are asserting your belief. I suggest studying what belief means. That word may be the problem. Some equate belief to the concept of blind faith. Belief is on a spectrum. So is quality of evidence - on it’s own spectrum. Atheists appear to put religiosity and God belief on the evidence spectrum at the bottom (zero evidence) and on the belief spectrum perhaps near or at the top - zealotry or fanaticism. And they may well be right. When I do science, I believe that those outside of my field, have in the main, adhered to the process of science as I do, and provided the scientific body of knowledge with useful information / knowledge, aiming for truth.
I discovered the “four horsemen”Dennett, Harris, Dawkins & Hitchens in 2015… I have never looked at religion the same. It’s a lonely but necessary space for us to evolve

Dennett and Hitchens, they were poisoned by Catholic Church doctrine and tradition as are Dawkins and Harris. They were too educated in man’s “wisdom”. They would not or perhaps could not entertain the thought that God is love. Everything that we think or believe about God must necessarily be scrutinized through the lens of God is love. Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life and, You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. They are dead now. It is sad that they never came to a love of the truth. I pray for Dawkins and Harris.
*@HoggRidduh* Repeat after me: in the beginning man created god in his own image. That's why god is not perfect but has human attributes like envy, jealoucy, violence, misogyny, regrets, or urges. God is PURE FICTION.
You can get away with saying anything you want as long as you put the title "Reverend" or "Father" or "Pastor" before your name. -Christopher Hitchens quote.
Condom use is immoral. It destroys nature and possible procreation. You were born because your parents were willing to make great sacrifices of their time, expense, and attention, for many years, should a pregnancy result from sexual intercourse. Abstinence is character building and develops will power and discipline. Now, if people can't have children for any reason, or they're too old to have children, sexual pleasure is fine to indulge in. But for young healthy individuals to put pleasure ahead of possible parental responsibilities is immoral. Morals in matters like this are not clear to everyone. We should listen to the moral reasoning of authoritative figures in matters where there are wide societal disagreements. People come up with moral justifications for abortion, murder, fornication, slavery, or any evil path they want to pursue -- so we can get it wrong.

@@fibonacimike4110 It's not. You mean "when" is sex for pleasure immoral? ... When it's rape. When it's molestation. When it's abusive. When contraceptives are used. When it's adultery. When it's fornication. When it's incest. When it's homosexuality. When it's pedophilia. When it's masturbation. When it massage therapy or prostitution. Even entertaining impure thoughts for emotional enjoyment is immoral in the eyes of God. "Everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart" ... Sex for pleasure between man and wife isn't immoral -- even if no pregnancy can come of it. The rhythm method of birth control is perfectly moral.
A religionist came to my door the other day with his young son. He handed me a propaganda pamphlet and I noted the typical Southern Baptist rhetoric. "What are the wages of sin?". Blah blah blah. Then proceeded to ask me what church I went to. I told him the doctrines of his establishment have caused Great harm to the world (and continue to do so) and I no longer believed in the lies or spreading those lies. He said "okay", shrugged his shoulders and he and his son turned walked away. I stood there horrified and thought oh my God that was me 30 years ago even though I was never so bold as to go door-to-door and evangelize people. I always thought that was embarrassing. The religious establishment really does spread lies though. Millions of people running around espousing a belief system that oftentimes is nonsense and is a twisting or butchering of the original ancient texts. Islam and Christianity are almost identical. I have listened to my Muslim friends sit and talk to me about the fall of Lucifer and the end times in the coming of Jesus. If I didn't know they were Muslim I would have believed they were some variety of Southern Baptist evangelist. Two quotes I have held closed since I have learned the truth. "You will behave like the god you worship". So if he is a psychopath you will behave like a psychopath. The other quote is "there is no hate like Christian love". I have personally experienced that one as well.
One major issue that is seldom if ever discussed is the genocidal doctrine of Young Earth Creationism, particularly regarding cultural genocide which has been used as a primary excuse driving colonization and wiping out entire societies across the Western and Southern Hemispheres.
In Harris's best selling book, The End of Faith, he tells us he's some kind of Buddhist. He's not any kind of rational atheist. He's not what he says on UA-cam.
I think it was Hitchens who said (paraphrase) 'Christianity's greatest achievement wasn't convincing millions of people to believe in absurdities, it was convincing the rest of us that we were not to criticise it.
@RotiJohn-c3z I agree. When Hitchens was speaking he was talking about Christianity but I'm sure he would apply the same argument against all other religions.

And when people try to force religion on others they claim it's their right to do so and criticizing that is tantamount to trying to destroy their religion (like this whole War on Christianity nonsense).

You don't think "if you don't believe what we say, you will burn in hell forever" involves a psychological compulsion? Christianity has always used fear and threats to FORCE people to submit. And when the indoctrination starts at a very young age, when people have no chance to evaluate what they are being told, you don't regard that as "forcing"?
You are absolutely right. People are making outrageous statements under the guise of religion that would not be tolerated elsewhere. Religious beliefs, like all other ideas, should be open to challenge rather than automatically respected.

Enjoy wasting your life ranting and raving about something you have no control over. Most people don't leave religion because somebody talked some reason into them -especially if that 'somebody' is a fawning minion of Sam Harris. People leave religion mostly because of anxiety, anger and fear -that is, for emotional reasons. The earliest traces of atheism in the Christian West are not found among The Great Men of the Enlightenment; they were all emotional doubters. Even today, the rising tide of secularism in the US is mostly the result of scandals in the Catholic Church and the various Evangelical scandals and hypocrisies, not because of polemicists like Harris.

All religious belief came from some common ancestral source whether that belief is true or not. The first person who came to belief in some sort of creator shared that belief. The only question is what does that evolution look like. It's more probable that religion began as somewhat monotheistic or even as ancestor worship and that gods were then added to pantheons over time than to think it started with a fully formed polytheism and then whittled gods away.
According to anthropology, all religions are based on the worship of the stars and planets since day one of mankind. We tell kids to stop talking to imaginary friends, but what do people do in churches, and at dinner tables before the meal? Make believe is fine for children, but when adult it is a problem.

I don't give a crap what anthropologists say. Genuine religion worships a genuine God. Whether or not you believe that is an entirely different matter.
Your task is to prove there is NO God. The rest of us are satisfied with our beliefs, and we have NO need to pay heed to all of you self righteous imbeciles.

@@antbrown9066 most human knowledge is based on experience, trial and error. Sure, sometimes it takes decades or more to get to the "truth" ( I am assuming you define "truth" as " the final and ultimate answer").
Religion is only based on words from other people,, and more often than not.. an old book that makes claims noone can prove to be true, and many that can be proven to be false.
Daily knowledge based on experience and trial and error, can change as more things are understood about them. We have learned a lot about medical issues over time. People who follow their faith, rather then this new understanding, often die.. ir have their children die.. because they refused the modern way, and " had faith in gods plan".
So no,, religious faith is based in nothing more than unproven claims that you are not allowed to question.
The other "beliefs" are based in a steadily increase of gathered information,
@@Goldenhawk583 most of your knowledge - it comes from sources external to your own direct observation or experience. This information is what you believe. Most of human knowledge comes from belief or trust in the body of knowledge accumulated over time and place.
@@antbrown9066 the difference is still that it can be tested by anyone. And it gives consistent results when tested. None of that works for religion or religious claims.

My friend Stu, born and raised in a traditional Jewish family, now a successful astrophysicist and a fierce atheist, can't really give an explanation for having his two sons circumcised other than adhering to family traditions and hygiene issues. A grown man with a profound knowledge on the ongoing development of the universe can't resist both fallacies. I fear there is no hope for the rest of us uneducated masses…
At least Stu has chosen one of the solutions to nature’s failings that benefits women to come out of religion.
Stu had a hard decision. Conform to societal norms or potentially ostracize his kid from his peers. Boys' locker rooms can be brutal. My uncircumcised friend would not shower after practice because of the fear of being so different in such a sensitive area. The fear was not unfounded. Porn, tradition, and bullying all normalize this ritual, making it a harder decision than at first glance. Morally, you're right. It's a tradition that is unfounded. But practically speaking, the one you harm is not yourself. So, it's a trolly problem of sorts. Don't pull the lever, and you enable the future moral indiscretion, but your child blends in. Pull the lever, achieve a moral victory, but you have now played a star role in potentially ostracizing your kid among his peers. I was circumsized. I want to say I would not circumsize my son. But the amount of relief I felt at having a daughter tells me that I may not have been so steadfast in that conviction. Cut Stu some slack. It's hard to break the cycle. Especially since you aren't the one that directly deals with the consequences of your decision. People tend to want to play it safe, understandably so.
A rather arrogant take.
‘Hygiene issues’ is total bollocks. Come to Europe and see how many are circumcised. I bet most Americans would find FGM to be barbaric, but when it comes to boys you are brainwashed by convention. A million operations a year…ka-ching!
This may sound absurd, but I've studied esoteric knowledge and have found this to be true: The reason for circumcision is to remove the cheese flavor from the phallus.

Sam Harris forgets that in the 20th century well over 100 million people were killed by atheists. Nazi Germany, Stalin's Russia, Mao's China, Pol Pot's Cambodia and more. His reading of the New Testament is superficial. Around 100 AD several secular writers referred to the existence of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Take a copy of the NT and cut out all references to the resurrection of Jesus. That NT will be in tatters. Without the resurrection Christianity could not exist. But it did and still does. Hence it is based on reality.
Through the ages people called Christian's have done atrocious things. That was because they disobeyed Jesus, proving they were not real Christians.

The entire Bible is man made stories to explain that which they did not understand in the earlier years of humanity. It has been a crutch for the world for thousands of years. It needs to go. Almost every w@r ever fought was for greed, real estate, and power in the name of a self proclaimed God, or religion. Of the thousands of Gods and Goddesses, which one do you bow down to? I bow down to no one, personally. I'm a giving loving and caring person that doesn't need a book to tell me right from wrong or where my "soul" is going when I leave this world. I will be dead. I didn't exist, I was born and as of now I am 59 years old, when I die, I will cease to exist. What's so hard about that? Science has traced every single thing on our planet to a SINGLE common single celled organism known as LUCA:
LUCA is an acronym for "last universal common ancestor," which is the most recent organism that all cellular life on Earth descends from. LUCA is a node on the tree of life, and the point at which the fundamental prokaryotic domains of Archaea and Bacteria diverge.

There was a Roman Catholic family living neae us when I was A child (in the 1960s) The son, who was about 10 years old came to us as we had a phone and his family didn't. He asked for us to call an ambulance as his mum was sitting on a bucked and it was filling with blood (A Haemorrhage). She was admitted to hospital and told she needed a Hysterectomy. The Catholic priest (A VERY traditional man) told her that she would be excommunicated if she went ahead with the operation as it meant she could no longer have children and it was a 'Mortal Sin'. She said "Fine, if I don't have the operation I'll die, and that's tantamount to suicide, which is also a mortal sin". She had the operation, was excommunicated. She didn't care as the priest had destroyed her faith in an instant.
b.s excommunicated for a Hysterectomy? Caca haha

-Anonymous-from an Objectivist forum
The things that 10 year olds believe! In North America or Europe, that priest would have had a pretty good education. So he would not have been so ignorant about theology to say such a thing. I suspect you heard some anti Catholic propaganda.
The problem with the old Jewish concept of a messiah is that it was and is based on tribalistic belief in manifest destiny, not on ideals of universal brotherhood, justice, freedom, and equality. This is true of virtually all forms of religion that only extend the grace and blessings of God to members of the tribe, or race of believers.
But, that is not what Christ taught when he walked on earth 2,000 years ago:
"Come, oh beloved of my father, and inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundations of the earth."
"I have come that you may have life and have it in abundance."
"Do nothing to anyone you would not have done to you. Do not judge, for as you judge others so shall you be judged. And by the measure you use it shall be measured to you. Treat all others as you would be treated for that sums up the Law and the Prophets."
In those concise clear words Christ outlines the steps each and every one of us can take in our daily lives to end for all time the centuries of self-inflicted suffering of humanity. He states that our judgment of others defines our own life condition. To the extent that we cause others to suffer we cause ourselves the very same suffering. And that has been the case now every day and night for eons.
Had the early Roman Catholic Church truly followed Christ's teachings there would never have been centuries of war and persecution based on religion. No Spanish Inquisition. No violent suppression of protestant denominations.
Had Constantine I truly initiated the bond between church and state in 325AD as Christ taught and exemplified there never would have been centuries of self-proclaimed "royalty" professing to be God's chosen rulers on earth. The self-enrichment, self-glorification and empowerment that monarchs indulged in for over 1,500 years was in direct contradiction to Christ's definition of true leadership:
"He who would be great among you must be your servant. He who would be the first must be your slave just as the Son of Man has come not to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many."
The good news? We, the people our life-sustaining, miraculously abundant planet Earth that is full of life as found on no other planet for 90 billion light years in every direction can truly establish liberty and justice for all humanity the moment we turn from the darkness of past blindness, injustice, selfish greed, and disregard for other human beings and establish what Christ called the kingdom of heaven. His words have the power to create truly lasting peace and prosperity for all people everywhere on Earth.
"I am the truth, the life, and the way."
"Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden light."

true moral has nothing to do with any god, and also not with personal whim.
moral is impossible to guess, to know, if you neglect other things.
other things are easier to know, so moral is the harder to know. other thing you can know without any moral, therefore moral you can know only if you know other things.
moral is what the other things are not, that is the story of it. moral can only be result of long and systematic education. first things to know, are aggression and easiness of life. bad times and good times. therefore moral is different. moral is about reciprocity, therefore is about good in times of bad, and bad in times of good. moral is not about choosing happiness for yourself, not at all times. moral is about choosing good for yourself, when good is denied for you, and bad for yourself, when it is good. moral is not an unconditional good.

Wasn't Paul secretly working for the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't all of the original Roman Catholic Saints' members of the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't all of the original symbols used by the earliest Christians identical to those of the Flavian Dynasty? And isn’t one of the earliest iconographic symbols for Christianity, located in a catacomb, under the city of Rome, which was owned by a Flavian Princess?
Weren't all of the original Jesus cult texts produced under the oversight of the Flavian Dynasty? Didn't the Flavian Dynasty posses the only remaining copy of the Hebrew Tanakh other than the Greek Septuagint translation? Isn't there Flavian typology in the Gospels? Weren't the canonical texts all back dated like the historical fiction of Gone With The Wind? Wasn't Emperor Vespasian known as the Jewish Messiah? Wasn’t Pope Clement of Rome a Flavian? Wasn't Josephus a temple whore for the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't the Flavian’s, as well as Paul, descended from King Herod?
There was no separation of Church and State in the Roman Empire. And Christianity is clearly a Greco-Roman hybrid form of Judaism created by the Flavian Dynasty. As an attempt to adapt, pacify, and integrate the rebellious and defiant Jews into the rest of the Greco-Roman Empire. Just like the Greeks created Hermes Trismegistus to integrate Egyptian mythology with Greek mythology.Then finally Neo-Flavian Constantine chose the Flavian family religion to be the official religion of the entire Roman Empire. In order to consolidate power in his fractured Empire. And then Eusebius edited and rewrote the history of the previous 3OO years. Destroying all contradictory evidence. It isn't history it is all simply Greco-Roman mythopoetic literature. Today it is known as Historical Fiction.

If you examine their beliefs and attitudes, they have adopted so much from the secular intellectuals... yet, there's no term for that part of their thinking, so they use the term "Christian" which really describes only a portion of their philosophy (and ever smaller portion)."

Spirituality is freedom, religion is a shackle.
I’m not an adherent of religion. I’m not an atheist. I’m not, not an atheist. My senses tell me I exist. My instinct is to avoid labels. I am happy when I’m kind.
I'll never forget the day I was at a family wedding with my husband and our 2 year old son, a friend of my husbands family asked if we were going to have our son christened. I said no, we are not religious, her reply was, "But how will he know right from wrong?! That son is now in the armed UK forces and my other three children are all in caring professions, none of them religious.

It is more funny even, that the religious zealots are never respecting anything else than the religion they are believers of, not even other religions, I must clarify I am religious, but in my religion, there is no obligation or need to convert or expand others to our religion, or negate the phylosophies of atheists, I am an european polytheist, and for us, free will is to be respected the most, not any religion, your actions on this world are the only important thing in this world, not your beliefs
I've not read any of the Muslim holy book, so I can't comment. There are many factors and reasons for religious fundamentalism. There are many very peaceful and positive Muslims. Not saying it's for me, but everyone has to be free to be indoctrinated as they please.. most countries have done atrocities under any old premise.

The comparison between Islam and Buddhism is partly true, the core values of Buddhism is very far from violence so it would take a lot of persuading to make a Buddhist terrorist, but it is not entirely impossible. Buddhist of Myanmar and Sri Lanka are living examples of violence. If we look closely at the Muslims of Myanmar they did not resort to terrorism on the face of violent persecution by Buddhists, so terrorism based on Islam is thus not just religious but also has a cultural and regional catalyst.
All the Abrahamic religions are inherently violent, the Old testament calls for genocide, loot, abuse of even children and life stock that makes all the Abrahamic religions root cause for terrorism, a continued state of violence in the middle east is also the reason for Terrorism.
Lets not forget that Ashoka in order to spread Buddhism beyond his territories employed violence despite Buddhism preaching non violence. Also lack of inherent violence in Buddhism was the reason for its down fall in India as it was not able to stop the on slaughter of the Vedic religion.
Religion need to be inherently violent for their survival and those religions that are not violent enough cease to exist, the religious extremist and moderates in all religion know this. That is why any and all religion are bad for human existence.
Excellent points! I was going to share the same examples of violent Buddhists. But your comment summed it up all really well!

No. It was not Israel who started that war you ldiot.

I am an agnostic Korean, and while atheists may not make sacrifices or risk their lives driven by religious beliefs like missionaries, I acknowledge the profound impact Christian missionaries had in Korea. Over 10,000 U.S. and Western missionaries were killed while spreading the teachings of the Bible, helping to improve civil rights, education, and prosperity. In the early 20th century, during the Chosun Dynasty, nearly half of Korea's population lived in slavery, marking one of the longest periods of indentured servitude in history, spanning approximately 1,500 years.
Missionaries played a crucial role in education, establishing 796 schools by 1910, including medical schools and universities. At the time, 90% of Koreans were illiterate, so missionaries had to educate the population in order for them to read and learn the Bible. Notably, Mary Fletcher Benton Scranton founded the first schools for Korean women. Through these efforts, Christianity introduced human rights and economic improvements, significantly contributing to Korea's rapid development.
The intention isn't genuine or well-directed if its laden with proselytization efforts and goals to try and convince others to convert, and believe in things without evidence. Bait & switch..a classic.
Einstein's classic quote always comes to mind: "If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed".
Even Hamas offers social services, so what? Does that make their core doctrine true or moral? No. It just means there are elements and individuals within any group that do good despite religion. If an agenda is there, instead of doing good for the sake of good - then the whole premise of an ethical & genuine approach is void.
@@FactStorm I totally understand your concerns about proselytization and belief without evidence, and I also see where you're coming from with the Hamas example. Maybe some religions do fall into that category. However, I believe Christianity, especially how it impacted Korea, is different. And just to clarify, I’m not a Christian, but I do believe that Christianity has brought about many positive changes.
As a Korean, I can only speak to the profound influence US and Western Christians had on Korea, for which I am incredibly grateful. For over 4,000 years, Korea was an atheist society where the king and nobles, a mere 2% of the population, ruled over the rest. In 1910, half the population were slaves, and the law at that time treated them as property. Masters had the legal right to kill, rape, or torture their slaves without consequence-this was the harsh reality. Western and US Christian missionaries, believing that every human is made in the image of God, advocated for the dignity and value of all individuals. These beliefs contributed significantly to social transformation in Korea, freeing millions from a system of oppression.
Sure, their beliefs may not always be rooted in evidence in the scientific sense, but their faith drove humanitarian actions that helped shift Korea toward a more just society. More than 10,000 missionaries, many from the US, lost their lives in Korea while spreading these values, yet their influence helped promote individual rights and freedom.
While evidence is critical in many aspects of life, it’s also true that some of the most profound changes in history come from belief and faith. Christianity, in this case, led to positive changes that gave people hope and freedom.

Thanks for trying Sam.
Wow .........! " Religious moderates don't fly ( Drone- adapted remote control...) planes into buildings..."

I got an “A” in Scientific Atheism, that was a requirement for a medical student in a Soviet Union university, so why am I listening to this eloquent man? Because logic and reason are so appealing and I am lazy to switch to another video. It’s true, that the population of the American continent is clinging to it”s Bibles, and the most religious are, also, clinging to their AR15 style weapons of war. Love thy neighbor, but keep your high capacity magazines loaded 😂😢
Love thy neighbor does not mean to lie down when your neighbor, who happens to believe in survival of the fittest, wants to kill you and your family because they think themselves to be the super race. "God asks, who will stand in the gap of the wall" with his sword to protect others and give his life if necessary. Hmmmmmm. That Jesus called the greatest form of love. V
Scientific Atheism? Therein lies a conflict. Science is not a belief system. Atheism is. No connection. False logic. I would give you an F for fail. Belief. You do realise that most of human knowledge is belief, faith, trust. The challenge is to find truth.
@@antbrown9066 Science--AS IT IS TAUGHT TODAY--is a BELIEF SYSTEM--QUOTE: “We have a prior commitment, a commitment to naturalism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. Lewontin, Richard (1997), “Billions and Billions of Demons,” The New York Review, January 9.
SCIENCE SHOULD BE ABOUT ACCEPTING ALL FORMS OF "AGENCY" not just materialistic explanations, when, the PROBABILITY of "AGENCY" is overwhelming. PERIOD
1) The Universe supposedly came from NOTHING AND BY THE GOD OF THE ATHEIST CALLED NOTHING. An actual, factual MIRACLE, without a Miracle worker -- a Scientific Impossibility.
2) Life From Non life -- Miracle NUMBER 2. Just the FACTS ABOUT PROTEINS. Sir Fred Hoyle, any probability greater than 1 Chance in 10 to the 50th Power is a MIRACLE. Just ONE small protein, 150 amino acids long--the chance of it coming together by CHANCE is 1 Chance in 10 to the 77 power. A small cell has 41 Million protein molecules, with some 1000 amino acids long. Origin of life SCIENCE--our first ancestor would need minimum of 206 DIFFERENT TYPES of proteins, and from 10 to 500 thousand copies of those proteins depending on the structure they form in the cell. Now add in 400 Million lines of DNA, and two unfathomable biological systems called replication and translation, so the next cell could replicate. THIS CANNOT HAPPEN BY CHANCE. PERIOD, AND YOU ARE A FOOL IF YOU BELIEVE IT CAN.
@@antbrown9066 Atheism is not a belief system. It’s the lack of belief in deities.
Why do you spam this channel so much? Just sit quietly and listen and maybe you will learn something.
@@HeirOfNothingInParticular that is where you are wrong. Atheism is most certainly a position. It is therefore a belief system. You cannot take a position without forming an opinion (belief) of a concept. Naturalist science excludes the possibility of intelligent designer. It starts with an established exclusion criteria. This is a belief. Atheists Believe that there is no such thing as an intelligent designer or if you like, deity. This is not spam. It is a response to an incorrect position which you are asserting. You are asserting your belief. I suggest studying what belief means. That word may be the problem. Some equate belief to the concept of blind faith. Belief is on a spectrum. So is quality of evidence - on it’s own spectrum. Atheists appear to put religiosity and God belief on the evidence spectrum at the bottom (zero evidence) and on the belief spectrum perhaps near or at the top - zealotry or fanaticism. And they may well be right. When I do science, I believe that those outside of my field, have in the main, adhered to the process of science as I do, and provided the scientific body of knowledge with useful information / knowledge, aiming for truth.
Provided humanity is not annihilated by religions, it will likely grow out of it within the next century.

Dennett and Hitchens, they were poisoned by Catholic Church doctrine and tradition as are Dawkins and Harris. They were too educated in man’s “wisdom”. They would not or perhaps could not entertain the thought that God is love. Everything that we think or believe about God must necessarily be scrutinized through the lens of God is love. Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life and, You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. They are dead now. It is sad that they never came to a love of the truth. I pray for Dawkins and Harris.

You can get away with saying anything you want as long as you put the title "Reverend" or "Father" or "Pastor" before your name. -Christopher Hitchens quote.
Condom use is immoral. It destroys nature and possible procreation. You were born because your parents were willing to make great sacrifices of their time, expense, and attention, for many years, should a pregnancy result from sexual intercourse. Abstinence is character building and develops will power and discipline. Now, if people can't have children for any reason, or they're too old to have children, sexual pleasure is fine to indulge in. But for young healthy individuals to put pleasure ahead of possible parental responsibilities is immoral. Morals in matters like this are not clear to everyone. We should listen to the moral reasoning of authoritative figures in matters where there are wide societal disagreements. People come up with moral justifications for abortion, murder, fornication, slavery, or any evil path they want to pursue -- so we can get it wrong.

He said "okay", shrugged his shoulders and he and his son turned walked away. I stood there horrified and thought oh my God that was me 30 years ago even though I was never so bold as to go door-to-door and evangelize people. I always thought that was embarrassing. The religious establishment really does spread lies though. Millions of people running around espousing a belief system that oftentimes is nonsense and is a twisting or butchering of the original ancient texts. Islam and Christianity are almost identical. I have listened to my Muslim friends sit and talk to me about the fall of Lucifer and the end times in the coming of Jesus. If I didn't know they were Muslim I would have believed they were some variety of Southern Baptist evangelist. Two quotes I have held closed since I have learned the truth. "You will behave like the god you worship". So if he is a psychopath you will behave like a psychopath. The other quote is "there is no hate like Christian love". I have personally experienced that one as well.
How could you be a believer after listening to Sam Harris ??
Great video! I always mostly agree with Sam Harris, if it's about religion or about Trump.
One major issue that is seldom if ever discussed is the genocidal doctrine of Young Earth Creationism, particularly regarding cultural genocide which has been used as a primary excuse driving colonization and wiping out entire societies across the Western and Southern Hemispheres.
In Harris's best selling book, The End of Faith, he tells us he's some kind of Buddhist. He's not any kind of rational atheist. He's not what he says on UA-cam.
oh puhleeze
I think he is a lovely rational being with a kind and respectful heart...even if he feels the wisdom yo call you out on your "beliefs!"
I think it was Hitchens who said (paraphrase) 'Christianity's greatest achievement wasn't convincing millions of people to believe in absurdities, it was convincing the rest of us that we were not to criticise it.
@RotiJohn-c3z I agree. When Hitchens was speaking he was talking about Christianity but I'm sure he would apply the same argument against all other religions.
Not appropriate to dump religion on the basis of the way fundamentalists interpret their Holy books.

You want to know what I find so interesting about Sam's and the Vatican's assessment of the manufactured *_HIV/AAIDS_* problem in Africa? . . . The United States has the very same problem here. . . I watched two Documentaries about the spread of *_HIV/AAIDS_* around the World and two of the hardest hit places was the American South *_(Mississippi)_* and Africa *_(Eswatini, Botswana, Lesotho and Zimbabwe)._*
The *_godless, Leftist Liberal, Crypto Communist_* media claims that *_HIV/AAIDS_* is mostly spread in America by Young/Gay African American males who refuse to use condoms. . . . They also say that Truck Drivers frequenting Prostitutes along their Transportation Routes is the primary cause for the transmission of those Diseases in South Africa. . . But did you notice that the easiest remedy to cure those terrible Diseases actually destroys Sam Harris' argument that *_"Modern Day" Moral Laws of Ethics_* are better than *_"Iron Age" Moral Laws of Ethics?_*
The *_"Iron Age" Moral Laws of Ethics_* in the Bible Commands *_Believers_* to *_not_* engage in Fornication/Adultery *_&_* Homosexuality. . . No Secular *_"Modern Day" Moral Laws of Ethics_* do!!

I see no difference between misunderstanding abortion, and misunderstanding condom use.

To the Roman Catholic Church's defense . . . *_(as a so called Protestant, I can't "Believe" I just said that!!)_* . . . they have always taught that *_any_* form of *_Contraception_* was against 𝓖𝓞𝓓'𝓢 𝓛𝓪𝔀𝓼 on Male & Female reproduction. . . A few months back I watched three Documentaries about 𝐇𝐈𝐕/𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐒 that completely changed my mind about the "victims" of those Diseases.
The first was the 𝐏𝐁𝐒 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 Documentary called 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐒. . . . The second one was from 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄/𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂 called 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐇𝐈𝐕 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡. . . I think the third one was from 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, but I forgot what the third one was called, but it was about how 𝐇𝐈𝐕/𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐒 was at epidemic levels throughout Africa!! . . . In all three the most common factor was their extremely careless behaviors, not the Roman Catholic Church's Doctrinal stand on *_Contraceptives!!_* . . .
. . . We live in an 𝐀𝐠𝐞 where poor behaviors are not only ignored, but encouraged by people who will ultimately benefit from the outcomes of those poor behaviors!! . . . 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐬 are 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, . . . so why should 𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 (who are heavily invested in 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐬) demand their 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬/𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐬 refrain from the very poor behaviors that line their own pockets? . . . .

Atheist here:
Yet Sam is so critical of Islam but remains silent about the atro cities in the name of J- ism, based on Biblical claims.
He never criticizes extremist Js and Zs directly, but made a career of criticizing Muslims and Islam.

Humans have not left the cave..!
Since the 1990s, large numbers of Americans have left Christianity to join the growing ranks of US adults who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or 'nothing in particular. I am from Amsterdam so I grew up never following any religion...thank god!
I don’t disagree with Harris that religion creates “separation and Balkanization” of populations. The problem IS that the PROBLEM of existence and survival ALSO create separation and Balkanization.
Religion vs. atheism has nothing to do with it.

We lost greats like Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens & George Carlin, but I'm so glad Sam Harris & other intellectuals like Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss & Daniel Dennett are still here!
These guys are my heroes in the fight against the REAL & biggest global threat: RELIGION!!
