colonel Feathers 5 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 This is obviously a sensitive subject here, so maybe no comment would be the best course.Its just that the bizarre transformation taking place in the atheistic community was threadworthy for a religion forum. Guess I was wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

vbnautilus 48 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Are we debating Sam Harris's teeth now? Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just want to know so that I can do some background research. OP, what transformation are you referring to? Link to post Share on other sites

Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just want to know so that I can do some background research. OP, what transformation are you referring to?The transformation from a fringe group o cartoonish figures, Ohare for example, to a more intellectualized group of learned academics,who seem bent on destroying any long held sacred beliefs.

I think that is a measure of success for the movement. But the point is not to destroy "any long held sacred beliefs", only those which don't stand up to reason and evidence.
