@ggreenwald Do you not think, under the constraints of formal debate, purposeful discourse could be had between yourself and @SamHarrisOrg?

@SamHarrisOrg @StephenCEadon haha. You collaborated with Chris Hitchens, the Goebbels of the Iraq War. -
@poyannah @StephenCEadon Calling him "Chris" alone is sufficient to get you blocked. I won't comment on the rest.

@SamHarrisOrg @StephenCEadon Please debate and dismantle him. Understand that apology is no part of apologist career policy. -
@SamHarrisOrg @StephenCEadon *apology as in apologizing for deliberate misquotation to defame authors.

@SamHarrisOrg @StephenCEadon debating loons or fanatics does nothing except legitimize their views in the eyes of many. -
@LetsBe_Rational@SamHarrisOrg Perhaps, but unfortunately not debating them does the same thing - without exposing them to opposing views -
@StephenCEadon
@SamHarrisOrg it doesn't legitimize their views. -

@LetsBe_Rational@SamHarrisOrg People will say he is avoiding debate. I wouldn't say that that 'legitimises' any view ... -
2/2
@LetsBe_Rational@SamHarrisOrg ...but I believe 'legitimacy' is a legalistic concept that does not apply to ideas -
@StephenCEadon
@SamHarrisOrg but nutter fanatics don't feel that way. They think their faith is as valid as empirical evidence. -
@LetsBe_Rational@SamHarrisOrg For sure most do, but nothing will change their views - small percentage along for ride might change however -
@LetsBe_Rational@SamHarrisOrg Sorry, I meant most don't -as you say

@SamHarrisOrg I appreciate that, but a coherent public debate would expose his audience to a view they might otherwise resist even hearing -
@StephenCEadon
@SamHarrisOrg I too would love to see the clash of Sam's ideas & mode of thinking expose the flaws in@ggreenwald 's 1/2 -
@StephenCEadon
@SamHarrisOrg@ggreenwald but as@moz_zarella said; w/o willingness 2 honestly engage, I fear it would = Chomsky/Affleck 2/2 -
@evidence_reason@SamHarrisOrg@ggreenwald I think that formal debates generally end up being a tiny bit more coherent despite hostility
