Deepak Chopra is a profoundly negative person. If you read his books, you have to wonder, where else could he have found the inspiration to write all that nothing?

Bah, light rays are passing through it, aren't they? That's not nothing.

3. Rational Atheism

Comment #64897 by Cato on August 22, 2007 at 8:38 am

Shermer entirely misses what's "new" in New Atheism -- the claim that religious moderates are guilty of giving religious extremists a free ride.

This is a very simple pro-justice, pro-truth, and pro-freedom movement.

4. Scarlet Letter Campaign Update: A Victory

I had a feeling it was a parody too, but I've been wrong before. Every day of Catholic school provoked a "they're joking" reaction, but I was wrong. Seriously.

Elfinabout, you live in a shell.

Even the cat story didn't fully convince me on its own. Afterward, I knew it was a joke when I read this:

They may have stolen the letter "A" from God, but we say let them have it. We here at Baptists For Brownback 2008 have Copyrighted© the remaining 25 letters exclusively for our Christian use. Praise the Lord!

Sorry to break it to you guys but over 3/4 of Canada is Christian too. There's reason to watch out, is all I'm saying.

Wow, I just discovered fora.tv. This is excellent. I'll be busy for months!

There's also a presentation by Sam Harris on there hosted by The Long Now Foundation. It's called "The View From the End of the World."

7. I Don't Believe in Atheists

Religious institutions often sanctify genocide, but this says more about us, about the nature of human institutions and the darkest human yearnings, than it does about religion. This is the greatest failing of Sam's book. He externalizes evil.
