I'm here for the comments. Fully prepared to read some Twitter fights

Lol. I enjoy Twitter battles as well. Mine wasn't intended to be a starter. I'm very fond of
@SamHarrisOrg and enjoy his presentation of ideas, his promotion of meditation helped me start practicing. Theres room for discourse and disagreement still. -
100%. Haha. But seriously. So many internet tough guys haha

Any excessive reaction to "imaginary" strengthens his initial theorem. I love the simplicity of it. I agree though that its dangerous when people tie their entire identity into God. I love God, I'm an emissary but I also love tacos, theres room for a dynamic identity
-
I'm definitely with you on the tacos.
-
Less people are murdered over tacos
-
Bro. I haven't. I've heard California has the bomb ass fish tacos though!

What about ending the brutal corporate capitalist machine destroying the planet and invading countries for its resources? That's what 9/11 was about and what all wars are about. Religion and morality on all sides are just the cover, the excuse. Greed is the real driver of war.
-
They aren't mutually exclusive causes. In the case of 911, it's undeniable that religion played at least some role.
-
Right, didn't they all believe they'd be in heaven with 72 virgins?
-
Did you ask them all personally? Just how extensively did you interview them for their primary motivations?
-
And there you go trying to make yourself "right". The poster said that both motivations were at cause.
-
I don't see
@SamHarrisOrg mentioning capitalist greed as the driver of war, or mentioning the right to offend people who go nuts when a football player kneels during the US national anthem. What is that if not religious attachment? -
You're right. However, you can't deny the evidence of religious fundamentalism.
-
Again, they aren’t mutually exclusive issues. Blind patriotism is just as delusional as religious fundamentalism. Sam touches on both problems - but (if I’m correct) he believes Religion is the “only game in town” when it comes to defending dogma with supernatural underpinnings.

I imagine you will be regretful on judgement day, although you do not realize it now. Remember: God is greater than Google. Everyone's search history will be exposed on the final day.
-
On judgement day it is you who will be judged. The only way to get to Heaven is to study and reject ALL religions. Religion is God's plan to weed out the the suckers.

What do you believe about Jesus?
-
Poorly documented. The religious writings are not consistent. The secular writings are non-existent. What does exist are provable as forgeries. Lots of fan fiction, but not a lot of original material.
-
Highly documented. Religious writings are consistent. Over 20k secondary sources including secular. BS. Cute BS.
-
What are your sources for these claims? It contradicts everything I have read so far.
-
Here is a list of secular sources that reference Jesus. Most historians believe Jesus existed. Why don't you? What sources do you have?pic.twitter.com/ADbdDQaDY1
-
But any contemporaneous sources? For example, the most common author on that list, Celsus, was writing some 175 years later... And the four canonical gospels were written 75 to 100 years later by anonymous sources.
