@SamHarrisOrg@AtheistStoned@No1451 why can't we specific about how bad each religion is, rather than attempt a false equivalency? -
@toxicpath@SamHarrisOrg@AtheistStoned@No1451 ok we get it "all dogma is bad".Now can we talk about which dogma(s) are worst, w/solutions? -
@toxicpath@SamHarrisOrg@AtheistStoned@No1451 for ex, "death to apostates" seems higher on the list than "crystals have healing powers" -
@BitchingOrk@SamHarrisOrg@AtheistStoned@No1451 yes. You can just bring up whichever you want. That's my point -
@toxicpath@SamHarrisOrg@AtheistStoned@No1451 just to make sure I got it - "we can/should compare specific dogma, but not religions."? - 1 more reply

@SamHarrisOrg I was thinking Christianity. Dogma is where I turn my gaze as it shuts down debate and closes the door to even arguing a case -
@No1451@SamHarrisOrg sure dogma is bad. But not all dogma is the same -
@timwmc@SamHarrisOrg no but if it brings lives to harm I don't care if it was by a gun, bomb or lack of medical care. Dead is dead -
@No1451@timwmc@SamHarrisOrg What if detectives did that? "Dead is dead. No point looking for clues or motives". -
@sisboombahbah@timwmc that bears no relation whatsoever to what I said/am saying -
@No1451@sisboombahbah your claim was dogma leads to shutting down debate. That was your response to Harris
