      @jacobinism I get your point in we can think (wrongly) only fundamentalists true to faith. But @SamHarrisOrg right 1/2 ri@SaifRRahman

      @JPSargeant78 @jacobinism Of course, I know there are moderate Muslims. The problem is that there is no theological basis for their views.

      @SamHarrisOrg that makes no sense. there’s a ‘theological’ basis for any view. @JPSargeant78 @jacobinism @RichardDawkins

      @fodwyer @JPSargeant78 Really? That's a relief. Kindly produce the theological basis under Islam for honoring apostates and polytheists.

      @SamHarrisOrg A well known result in logic is that you can prove anything from a contradiction. Scriptures are full of them. @JPSargeant78

      @fodwyer @JPSargeant78 Cute, but that doesn't cut it. We're not talking formal logic. And for long stretches, there are no contradictions.

      @SamHarrisOrg so you require a ‘theological’ argument that doesn’t need to meet standards of logic (like they ever do). Ask me a hard one.

      @fodwyer I don't require it. Moderates require it so that they can make a plausible case for their "interpretation" of the faith.

          @SamHarrisOrg What’s plausible depends on who you ask, and I think you’ll find that that the religious can plause pretty much anything.

          @fodwyer Not true. You can't a get a version of Christianity that says, "Jesus was an average schmuck who had no connection to God."

          @SamHarrisOrg Sure you could and probably could get a Ph.D in theology for it too (esp. if you also argued that its negation was true too).

          @SamHarrisOrg Still seems silly to argue that a given interpretation of contradictory fiction is ‘incorrect’. Especially the moderate one!
