I guess it's all relative, man. LOL. Or maybe it's not. Sam Harris is no great mind.

I like Harris' position on Islam and his aggressive atheism in general, but he's just another pop-culture atheist. He hasn't contributed a thing beyond tirades and mere literature. He's not even on the level of an atheist like Christopher Hitchens who's done more for the culture of anti-religious dialogue in modern society than Harris ever will.

What about Harris do you actually like? Originally Posted by wotbaby

Harris remains composed and centrist regarless of what kind of idealogue he happens to be debating, which is something that would be a sight to see in the midst of the kind of identity politics you see right here on this thread. Harris is one of the few personalities who can both eviscerate Donald Trump and declare the Democratic Party dead in the same oratory.

I prefer Harris' attack on theism moreso than Hitchens. I find his analogies and his use of language to be precise, and really almost perfect. Joe Rogan describes him as a "black belt" in making his point and I agree.

Harris has destroyed the bullshit facade of Islamism like no other. At the same time, he recognizes that he is unable to make a difference with Muslim assholes because they reflexively reject his rhetoric.

I listen to him all the time. I also recommend Letter to a Christian Nation to anyone who is able to recognize reality and who doesn't reject anything that he or she does not agree with.

Large part of the reason he thinks the Democratic Party is hopelessly screwing itself into the ground.

How can anyone argue with this.

Harris will also go off for as long as you like him to about how Donald Trump couldn't string more than a sentence or two of hard fact about the problem of Islamism, and he would be right.

What Trump has going for him over the Democratic leadership is that although he is a moron and makes fundamental errors on a daily basis, he's not as afraid as every Democratic elected official in America to acknowledge the existence of Islamism as a fundamental issue.

The Koran is full of unbelievably anti-democratic bullshit that would horrify both male lesbians and overweight hookers alike if they had any familiarity with it at all.

In the United States of America, in 1787, we had a rule agreed upon at the Continental Convention which most modern-day Americans think of as unhuman.

In 2017 under sharia law, in order to equal the evidentiary force of the testimony of one man, the testimony of two women is required.

These are the people Donald Trump wants to prevent from over-running the United States. Big-mouth, entitled American women side with the terrorists.

The Sweden issue is real.

Ann Marie Waters, another big-mouth infidel bitch, has been talking about it forever.

Same shit happens in Germany and France all the time. The Germans have some backbone, the French are hopeless and really want to be guilted into sharia law.

Of course, this is all white-supremacist, racist hate speech.

Just because it's true doesn't mean it's not harmful, hurtful, and unnecessary.

What this country really needs is Huey Newton or Alton Maddux to step in and show the way.
This is like making fun of someone who speaks only broken English.

This is the politics thread. Ask the mods.

Since you can't make a point about anything else, try taking a shot at sharia, or Islamism in general.

Surprise me. I don't think you can do that either.

I'm curious what these pissed-off women and stoned kids think about property rights under sharia law.

Also curious if they asked their husbands or elder male relatives if they don't have husbands, if it was OK to go out without wearing their burlap bags at night or otherwise.

That's another big no-no.

I'm not sure if they stone you to death like they do for leaving the religion, or cut your hands off or not, but it's still a biggie.

I bet all of the oppressed, fucked-with Muslim women would speak out against all the shit that the Koran says about them if their husbands or nearest male relatives would let them and not beat the shit out of them if they get one inch out of line.

Of course, as insulated filthy rich out-of-touch leftist celebrity douchebag Ben Affleck says, you couldn't fill a minor league baseball stadium with every member if ISIS on the planet currently.

Unfortunately, you could fill the entire eastern seaboard of the United States with ordinary Muslim barbarian iron-age mentality venomous snakes that believe every work of the bullshit in their 1700 year old dumb fucking book.

Because God said that shit.

OK Paul, take the wheel.

This thread is in desperate need of some cartoons.
