I don't throw everything he says out the window. That would be flatout wrong. I just don't need him. But he obviously doesn't share my kind of values in most everything he says. He's also a missionary in my perception. And, as I said, if there's anything I hate, it's missionaries. Doesn't matter if they fight the religious or atheist corner.
Thats the part I don't get. Hitchens sold books, Dawkins sells books Ayan sells books. All of them make a living promoting skepticism. Does that make them "missionaries" too? I get that you don't like him. I also agree that you don't throw everything out the window. Tyson gets alot of attention too. If you want to chalk it up to a personality difference that's fine. But I would not compare Harris to the likes of Pat Roberson or even Joel Olsteen. They are missionaries.
