Haven't read this thread for quite some time, so I only came to notice this now.
My problem with Harris lies mainly with his support for torture under certain circumstances than anything else.

I certainly haven't got any respect for his general views. Same goes for his preaching attitude. He's constantly talking down from the top of the ivory tower. As opposed to most other prominent atheists, who tend to rather look at the realities and adress them on an individual level.
