Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
You don't think critical thinking and challenges made in opposition should never occur because it might come across some people as a form of bigotry or hate?I think its disgusting when people use there own religion or beliefs to belittle and ridicule other people with different beliefs, Sam Harris is a Buddhist bigot like many others I find on Buddhist forums, terrible things to say about Christianity, even worse things to say about Islam, ridiculing Hindu beliefs in a soul or Atman. This is so infantile and childish, just because other people have different religious views doesn't give you the right to ridicule them just because they're different from you, its like they're so focused on the splinter in their adversaries eye, they are not aware of the mote in their own eye.
I personally don't agree with Sam Harris on all points, but there are some valid aspects that need to be put forward regardless if it is being labeled bigotry or not.
@Altfish made very good points on post #6 as an example.
