"If I could wave a magic wand and get rid of either rape or religion, I would not hesitate to get rid of religion."
Atheist Sam Harris, Interview at The Sun: The Temple of Reason
If you honestly believe that the contention of that quote is "rape is good," then you are a bigger fool than even I'd taken you for.
So I want to hear you say it. I want to hear you actually assert your position regarding this quote: just say "I believe that Sam Harris is saying that he thinks rape is good, in the quote I supplied."
It's either that, or back down from your smug little bolded opening...
You're the last person that should be getting all indignant, especially after (falsely) accusing me of trying to justify rape...

Selective, ridiculous over-literalism is kinda his deal.
We already know you have a selective memory, how about providing the link to support to that claim?
