I know how it sounds, but it made sense. Admitedly, some of what he said was said by others here on these very forums before and it didn't change my mind then, but he made a new argument and I trust his take on it more than my own.
I used to like Sam Harris, mostly because of is Dangerous Ideas presentations on determinism, but the more I see from him, the more I wish he'd shut the hell up. He's sexist, racist, and is a poor representative of atheists. It's not like we elected him, yet many people act like what he says, we all must believe. I don't mean you, Imean how theists often use him to misrepresent atheists.
Anyway, you are entitled to your opinion, though.
