  • LoL Only a few hours ago here on Liveleak I described religion as a cyst on the back of humanity, but islam seemed to be the more puss filled cyst; Would you believe Sam Harris says the same thing at 21:00. I've also mentioned before that science has a corrective mechanism, but religion doesn't, it's a rigid framework and cannot change without failing.

  • This guy has really got something here.
    Analyze emotion and science in the same breath and makes it all plausible. and humanist beside it (probably the downfall).
    I really like this guy. I do not believe he will achieve much as too anchored in humanist. He would need a mentor and someone wiser then him to move.

    Huamnist and science ought to co-exist/ Mo one has done it. An end to war and human co-existance might be all there is.

    Sam: i, gonna be watching you.

    • @Hitler_Is_Amazing He is actually rather well known in the religion/science/atheism debate world, probably second only to Dawkins now that Hitchens is dead.

    • @gregsto i tried to email the guy but none of the pages would let me do it. Not that i had anything important to say, just asking for clarification. Clearly this guy is Sheldon cooper reincarnate.

      Not sure about the plausibility of a fictional character who is still 'alive' being reincarnated! LOL

      The point is brilliance on fire. Clearly the guy has an idea he cannot shape. Even if he did that tomorow, the leaders would ignore it.

    • @Hitler_Is_Amazing Well put. It appears this one is an idea which can never quite be shaped....though it intuitively can be understood by most.

  • I always find it interesting when "scientists" discredit religion as "myth". Why is it then, that billions of people practice religion? Is it because they are intellectually inferior to scientists? Is that what scientists think? I'm not going to argue that all religious people have a brain in their head, because that's not true, either. But there comes a time when people with high intellectual function realize that all this isn't a "happy accident".

    Science More..
