I’m glad someone else is paying attention to Sam Harris, because I just can’t. Too many years of wrestling with creationists has given me some nasty allergies to bad reasoning and arrogant codswallop. But at least Marcus Ranum has the spine to tear into Harris’s terrible arguments defending Israel’s atrocities. It’s long, but worth reading.

Love the “Sam Harris” trigger warning. XD
Did you know that translates to “Do not read”?
“Arrogant Codswallop”, that will be the name of my next punk band.
What an amazing read. Does exactly what they say. Put Sam’s entire argument on the dissecting table under bright lights. It gave me a sense of hope that hard problems can be dealt with over time.
