@SamHarrisOrg Not saying you're lying; you may have misinterpreted/misremembered what Scott said. Thought the rest of your post was v. good! -
@MultipleDraftz Exchanges like that get seared on my memory. And then I tell my wife about them--and she remembers everything. -
@SamHarrisOrg Sorry, but I can't accept that as solid empirical evidence that Scott said what you said he said; we'll have to leave it there -
@MultipleDraftz Fine. Then read his work and find all those places where he acknowledges the potency of a belief in paradise. Good luck. -
@SamHarrisOrg He doesn't have to say beliefs are 'potent' to acknowledge that beliefs matter (as he does) - potency is what's being debated!

@SamHarrisOrg I've never heard/read Scott say that beliefs/ideology irrelevant in jihadi terrorism; quite the contrary, hence my scepticism -

@AhmedMcTaggart I agree (though for charity's sake I'll go with the latter alternative).
