What do you think of William Lane Craig?

As you can see from the quote from Harris' book, he does believe that mental illness causes people to be attracted to religion.

And Harris was clearly referring to God as a psychopath in the debate.

Consequently, I don't think that WLC misrepresented Harris' position AT ALL.

Sam Harris says that the character of God is psychopathic. That is not to say that those who believe in him are. In the video Sam Harris even specified that that was not what he was saying, and the maker of the Youtube video even made that clear too. Did  you even watch the video? This is all dealt with. WLC completely misrepresents Sam Harris, Harris was attacking God and calling God a psychopathic character, not the religious.

That quote you quoted doesn't says religious people are mentally ill, it says their beliefs are mentally ill.

Did you even watch the video? Check 6 minutes in.

Did you even read my post? I said I watched it.

[...] while religious people are not generally mad, their core beliefs absolutely are.

Consequently, I don't think that WLC misrepresented Harris' position AT ALL.

Then you either didn't watch the video, didn't understand the video, or you're as disingenuous as WLC.

Seriously... wtf. Even those who like WLC should be able to see that he clearly misrepresented Harris there. Harris called God psychopathic and specified that he wasn't saying religious people were, and then you think that when WLC represented Harris as saying that even the theists who were there at the debate were psychopathic you think that that's not misrepresentation? Wtf.

Oh, I'm just another liar for jeebus. Just as Rhythm. He'll tell you all about me.
