Why do you consider this a 'right' or 'wrong' type of discussion in the first place? Can't people ever just talk to each other about differing thoughts, feelings and experiences without it turning into some kind of stupid battle?
GOD, I'm already sorry I posted this. And, please don't "Sweetie" me; I'm an adult, and I think maybe almost twice your age. Kthanks.
If you don't want me to sweetie you, don't patronize me either. Your age is irrelevant on an internet forum.
I consider it a right and wrong type because of the fallacious thinking found on abaris' side. I simply mentioned liking Sam Harris's writing once and he joined a few others here in calling me a fan boy and criticizing Harris without touching any of his actual arguments, strangely enough. It's a long story. I'll let abaris speak for himself.
