90. I think that it just comes down to basic political differences.
Harris is supporting BushCo policies - and imperialism. I'm against them.

Harris would like us to think that the we should be supporting this "war on terror". I think that it is largely manufactured - if BushCo was concerned with stopping terrorism - he/they wouldn't be such good friends with Pakistan.


I think he goes far beyond just some little criticisms of liberals. He is at odds with liberal philosophy. I think he made it quite clear for anyone who hasn't noticed.


I think it's people like Harris that make it easy for some people to think of all atheists as "atheist fundamentalists" - because he is the most vocal and out there. Just like the crazy Christian Fundamentalists, or Pipes and his Islamism rants.

I think that liberal atheists need to frame themselves (and differentiate themselves) just like liberal Christians do - so the nuts (the Harris types) don't do it for them.
