Sam is hardly a snake oil salesman. Trump is, Pat Roberson is sure. Now you assume that everyone already knows that is flat out crap. I can tell you and not just with Sam, but with Hitchens and Dawkins and Stenger, that before reading all those works, I didn't know shit.
I'm willing to cut you some slack. But Harris didn't provide a single line, a single word even that I didn't come up with using my own reasoning. I'm not familar with Hitchens, since I didn't read or follow any of his work, and I do appreciate Dawkins for his humor. But in general, I never needed any of them to arrive where I am. When I hear them now it's always, well why are you telling me this? I cut Dawkins more slack than the others, because of his humour. I cut Harris - still not Sam - less slack because of his political positions and because of him taking himself too seriously.
