Sam Harris at the Global Atheist Convention

[Tempus]

I haven't heard Harris say anything unjustified on Buddhism, spirituality, meditation, etc. Did you ever consider that he might actually have something useful to say on the topics? If you've got a criticism of what he says I'd be interested in hearing it.

Buddhism is merely a social club like all social clubs invented by humans. Newton had religious beliefs too, but his correct science didn't make any social club he belonged to the center of science.

When did I, or Harris, say he his views on X, Y, or Z were the centre of science. You make a lot of good points. Unfortunately, most of them have nothing to do with what I said. The usefulness of some terms (eg, 'spirituality') is debatable, and some are ambiguous at best. However, you weren't objecting to the terminology, you were calling his views in those areas "woo" - you know, pseudoscience, nonsense. Don't refer me to a book because you're too lazy to make your own case.
