Yeah, agreed 100%. For some funny reason that doesn't seem very likely at the moment.

Nice post. I mean the guy consistently makes valid points in a calm and controlled manner.
His style of explaining these things that need to be said is probably my favorite way of going about it. "A Letter To a Christian Nation" should be taught to the upcoming generation.

Science is just human cooperation and a small set of agreements about phenomena. I haven't watched the vids yet, but I'm looking forward to it later.

Does God Exist? David Wolpe vs. Sam Harris

Once again his patience and tactfulness impress me. The fact that he meditated in caves for months at a time with masters of meditation is likely one reason he's able to keep his cool at all times. Even when religious clowns are frustrated and get loud and speak over him. I respect that.

why officially convert to anything? just use their philosophies and wisdom to guide you if you find them applicable to your life. 'converting' is very i'm-surrendering-to-a-cult sounding... imo.

this guy is good, thanks for sharing.
