        @SamHarrisOrg @RichardDawkins its kind of scary that it's a big deal to come out as atheist in the U.S. Is the U.S. really that backward?

        @samharrisorg Sad that it "takes guts" to simply say, publicly, "I just don't find Religion's claims plausible in the least." Isn't it?

        @SamHarrisOrg Excellent article. American atheists seem to have more difficulty being accepted by their society than we do. I salute them.

        @SamHarrisOrg Sam Harris urgently needs a course in basic epistemology. Atheism is based on the scientific method which is very exact.

        @SamHarrisOrg Science 1 Does NOT deal with proof/disproof maths does. Maths is not a science. 2 The 'burden of proof' is with Nature alone

        @SamHarrisOrg The epistemology of science is strictly based on: verification/non verification & refutation.

        @SamHarrisOrg Applying this epistemology to any idea gives 2 groups: 1 Testable by nature to all three 2 NOT testable by nature to all three

        @SamHarrisOrg Group 1 is termed 'theories' all of which can & mostly do, evolve into better ones via their refutation by nature.

        @SamHarrisOrg Group 2 are termed 'beliefs' which CAN be verified/non verified but can't be REFUTED by nature.

        @SamHarrisOrg An example of a belief system we all use: pure mathematics. An example of a theory: E=Mc^2 where c provides falsifiability.

        @SamHarrisOrg Unlike beliefs, theories require an empirically based constant that is refutable via observing it behaving like a variable.

        @SamHarrisOrg @RichardDawkins I find the illogic of belief that prayer saved your life in a plane crash & killed 100s of others compelling.

        @SamHarrisOrg @RichardDawkins How can there be "overwhelming evidence of non-existence?" That's logically FLAWED, not logically correct.
