I Used To Be A Fan But I Am Now Shocked, Disgusted And Appalled With Sam Harris

Well that's the point I made. You can't just cherry pick out one part of a rant. 

This is what you think occurred.
Murray: "trans people are weirdos."
Harris: "Ha ha ha" (thinking YES, trans people are weirdos")

There was lots said and some of it was a screed against political correctness. Live conversations are not written statements to be parsed in this way.

Quote:There is a such thing as being complicit. 

To pretend to be completely ignorant about why he is laughing and agreeing with what was said is just disingenuous.

And to pretend to know what is in someone's mind when they are laughing at a long rant that contains more than one idea is poor reasoning and in the long run, that type of behavior will rob the words transphobic and racist of their meaning. Those are strong accusations that require strong evidence, they're not labels to be applied on an assumption of intent.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
