‘Enlightened’ USA: FBI warns of right wing militia attacks against Muslims

[AtheistCrusader]

25. Here's where we differ. I expect individuals like Sam Harris to make mistakes even horrible mistakes

like cheerleading a racist and genocidal war against the middle east. He's one man, with his worldview, his perceptions, his ideas and his reason. For that, he can be wrong.

I can accept that. I can stand up to him, and he has to justify his ideas on their merits, no appeals to a greater authority he can claim to serve.

So, explain this shit:

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/14/jeb-bush-iran-nuclear-deal-appeasement
A Catholic, Jeb Bush, cheerleading for the sort of confrontation that leads to war. Handwaving and defending his brother's attack on Iraq.

If the 'new atheists' are so wrong, how can your catholic compadres be so wrong too?

Harris did cheerlead in favor of a war in Iraq, but he's at least honest enough to admit the war was completely bungled by the Bush Admin. Jeb bush isn't. https://web.archive.org/web/20061101084519/http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-harris18sep18,0,1897169.story?coll=la-opinion-rightrail


Harris does believe he's right. But he believes in himself, in his own position on the merits as he sees them, not on the mystical desires of his imaginary friend.

Face it, you're just as lost and blind in the dark as everyone else, your imaginary friend can't help you. Can't help Jeb. Can't help any of us if a Catholic with the surname Bush gets back into the white house.

The 'New Atheists' however this article of yours defines them, can be taken to task on an issue like this. Your religious fellow travelers can always defer and deflect to their imaginary friend.

I know which I'd rather debate and oppose.
