Welcome from the UK. This is a very active forum with many regular posters representing a broad range of views on almost every topic. If you like Sam's forum, you'll like it here. Would you like a cup of tea?

In that regard yeah, he dropped the ball big time. And I don't understand his fetish for Buddhism.

I agree with quite a lot of what he says on some other subjects though.

Oh sure, lots I agree with him on, he's also an entertaining speaker, enough that he could share a stage with Hitchens and not be a fifth wheel. I think his attempts to secularise what have long been thought of as 'spiritual' practices and ideals is a respectable endeavour, though don't think I've witnessed him talk on Buddhism.

Also welcome to the thing I guess

We're glad to have you. Hopefully you find some fun here.

I'm poking around some of the threads.
How many active regulars post here?

Welcome.

If you expand your definition to include "irregulars" the number just explodes. Like into the dozens. It's mind blowing!

No not the devil,
rather Sam Harris is really Ben Stiller.

Sam Harris is the real Ben Stiller and Ben Stiller is the fake Sam Harris.

Think on that one for too long and a wormhole will open up to another dimension where Christopher Hitchens is not only still alive but he is in fact Slash from Guns N' Roses.

Welcome

So yeah, I'm actually an actual turtle. If you disagree you get a parking ticket between your eye sockets. That's just standard procedure here.

I love Sam, but his Buddhism fetish has always bothered me. Outside that, he is spot on about his criticisms of both Islam and Christianity. Sometimes he gets a little too over protective of Israel. But also he was dead spot on in his condemnation of Trump.
