It really is fascinating in about every way. It's not mean-spirited and both guys bring up good points.

I think what I took from it is that faith vs. experience is hugely important. I'm not sure where I fit on the big spectrum, because being a Christian I am supposed to believe certain things that I don't. I can't reject certain science just out of hand, and Harris gets at that point in here.

It really twisted around in my head while reading it. It's a bit lengthy, but worth reading -- especially after last night's conversation.

Brian,
I'm so happy I didn't jump into that thread. Geesh! I found myself agreeing with timm, danzig, and dahoss, if ya can believe it!
Anyway...to answer your question...it's a definite "yes" and a positive "no".
Kinda like how ya look at it.
Free will rules. Consequences for all others, or maybe not.
