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 don't seriously expect him to be honest, do you? What evidence do you have that he places any value on honesty and integrity? Take your time, I don't expect you to find any evidence of that any time soon. You can PM me if I miss the post which provides the demonstration. You can also tell me all about your proof of the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which will probably be more believable.
