Atheists, Work With Us for Peace, Pope Says on Christmas

[cpwm17]

114. Sam Harris (and Hitchens, outspokenly) support for the neocon's aggressive war agenda

and his lack of interest in US's past bad behavior towards the Muslim world, indicates that I am justified in interpreting Sam Harris' writings as written:

What will we do if an Islamist regime, which grows dewy-eyed at the mere mention of paradise, ever acquires long-range nuclear weaponry? If history is any guide, we will not be sure about where the offending warheads are or what their state of readiness is, and so we will be unable to rely on targeted, conventional weapons to destroy them. In such a situation, the only thing likely to ensure our survival may be a nuclear first strike of our own. Needless to say, this would be an unthinkable crime—as it would kill tens of millions of innocent civilians in a single day—but it may be the only course of action available to us, given what Islamists believe.

I can read.

I'm an atheist, and one privilege of being an atheist is that I have no pope. Well known and outspoken atheists that support positions that I don't like should be condemned. It's not an attack against me.

Atheism isn't what makes people better, though atheism eliminates religion, and religions often interfere in the process.

I avoid Sam Harris. The little I've heard from him is enough to let me know I have no use for him. Hitchens seems to think that religion is the number one evil in the world, and the main cause of war. Religious war mongering is one of Hitchens main points Hitchens uses to condemn religion – obviously lacking self awareness.

Selfishness, greed, and bigotry (all related) are the main causes of evil in this world. Hitchens and Harris are extremely bigoted and that is why they support aggressive war.
