    At first I thought this thread was "Sam Harris converts..." That was scary.

    Watched the first 15 minutes of it, but I thought that Harris didn't come off too well -- he let the religious bloke direct the conversation and made Dawkins' frequent PR mistake in which he tries to give an honest answer to a dishonest question. I think Hitchens would have been a better match :)

    Harris comes across better later on if I remember correctly. He gets a good few laughs from the crowd, and shows how silly Wolpe's arguments are

    I really enjoyed it and thought Harris did well. The Rabbi seemed like a decent sort.

    Yeah they both have a similar dry wit. They'd make a great couple. :pac:

    Epic Bumpage...

    Just finished watching this, a really interesting debate and probably one of the best I've seen so far. Sam Harris is really a joy to listen to.

    thanks for the bump, just watched the vid and enjoyed it immensely. good respectful debate with both sides listening and allowing the other to speak, and Harris scored many points imo. A couple of hours on a sunday afternoon well spent.

    no new arguments here to most people I guess, but I thought it was interesting all the same


    Nothing majorly new..lol...But cheers all the same for posting it, I enjoyed listening, it gets better as it moves along. It's good to understand the thought processes behind each worldview, and I thought it was a genuine representation...I enjoy these kinds of debates and think there should be more of them tbh. Thanks a lot :)
