Element Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I stopped being a Christian because one day I though "Even if I could prove God existed, the rest I could never prove, its all too absurd". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayR Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Say what you will about Jesus, but Im not going to sit back and allow you to speak about Posiedon and Zeus that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Sorry, but I have seen far more devastating attacks on Xianity from Sam Harris himself than this one. I doubt it would make any impression at all on an Xian--not even "oh, but that is nonsense". They'd more likely wonder what on earth he is babbling about and what it has to do with anything.

I doubt it would make any impression at all on an Xian--not even "oh, but that is nonsense". They'd more likely wonder what on earth he is babbling about and what it has to do with anything. It was simply something I recently came across. If you have better attacks by Sam Harris I would appreciate a link to them, however it's not necessary if you don't want to have to find them again. I agree that people such as Harris, Dawkins, Hitchens have a minimal effect on Christians, but it sure is good for athiest circle-jerking and a general appreciation for intelligent people being willing to tell it like it is.

OCSL Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Just for the sake of contribution, this is my favorite video on the topic of religion: (its a short 2 minute speech by Hitchens). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I don't have a link because I've seen Harris be more devastating in dead-tree print... he takes em out to the woodshed in Letter to A Christian Nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrath Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Sam Harris is the best debunker of Christianity around...I don't think this video is his best attempt, however. There are plenty of crevices for Christians to hide in, even after admitting that the gospels were written decades after Christ. There are other videos (and books) by Sam Harris which so thoroughly deconstruct Christianity, that to disagree with him is to engage in massive cognitive dissonance.
