    A little advice to @SamHarrisOrg - If you're constantly having to explain way horrid things you've written, don't write them in 1st place.

        @rezaaslan @SamHarrisOrg but you know & damn well that what he wrote, in context, is not "horrid". Which is why you left out the context.

        @hemantmehta @rezaaslan @SamHarrisOrg maybe he has to keep explaining them because you keep misrepresenting them, Reza.

        @rezaaslan @SamHarrisOrg the irony of this tweet is too much coming from an apologist trying to explain the horrid things in holy books.
