Sam Harris re: certainty strawman

[_Aristotle Smith]

Uncharitable and strident Sam may be, but he deserves real credit for being a persuasive, incisive, and entertaining writer. At the end of the day, it's hard not to agree with him.

Funny, I've always found it incredibly easy to disagree with him. I guess I'm just too stupid.

I was hoping you could tell me what this thread is about.

marg is great for this board. when needed she will hold a poster's feet to the fire.

I'm going to assume this wasn't directed to me, since I don't think I said anything that would suggest that.

That could be the explanation.

Aristotle,

Though you and I have come to different conclusions regarding the existence of God and other weighty topics, I've always enjoyed reading your posts. You seem to be fair-minded and even-keeled and not prone to nastiness.

I always find that I learn more from a critic than a fan for any particular subject, so I'd like to ask you this: As someone who agrees with Sam Harris on an awful lot of his published conclusions, I would like to know what would be the top two or three things you find yourself in disagreement with him?

Thanks!
