see ... in the religions in general and Islam in particular a major threat to the current society and is committed to a rational and reasonable access to ethics and spirituality, are in principle without the need for such restriction. He criticized particularly in reference to the famous magazine "Why I Am Not a Christian" by Bertrand Russell, the monotheistic religions, and any other form of unfounded, blind faith - which he and his book entitled The End of Faith (to German: The End of Faith) directly attacking. He argues that political correctness has had its day in the days of the fundamentalist Islamic-motivated terrorism and we should "talk about certain things honestly and openly, for example, that the Koran and the Bible is a huge . Collection hostile babble contained "
Sam Harris wrote this too.
- The was between link and behavior raises the stakes Considerably Some propositions are so dangerous that it may even be ethical to kill people for believing them
(The. connection between belief and behavior raises the stakes to a considerable extent. Some of the claims are so dangerous that it could even be ethical to kill people for the fact that they believe this)
Harris rushed - after being given because of the quoted from his book "The End of Faith" Sentences allegations made - of course quickly Brandstselle and tried to justify these statements. They are taken out of context, but he had shown before this passage at length, how religious faith determines the behavior and how this fact some beliefs hazardous.
How should the look but in reality? Harris says in the end not that it would be ethical to kill people who are about to blow up themselves and 200 other people in the air as they move from the dangerous content of their faith into action. He says it would be ethical to kill people just because they see those things . Believe
This is a huge difference. A suicide bomber with a ton of explosives at the hip and a finger on the trigger, you may well have put a bullet between the eyes, where this explosion can be prevented. The fever yes against the death anyway. But anyone who believes that he came to paradise if he the right people with the tears in the death, alone to kill because of this belief, reveals precisely those hysterical Inside Let nature that Harris followers of monotheistic religions accused.
Moreover: Today the people to launch will be released, who believe in the martyrdom of explosive for their God, whose past has shown added that it far too many innocent people are torn to death. Morning sits the whole, is against abortion pronouncing a country's episcopate in the electric chair, because somewhere, sometime has a loopy "Christ" killed an abortion doctor.
Here is a cuddly Harris Quote:
- I hope to show that the very ideal of religious tolerance (born of the notion that every human being should be free to believe whatever he wants about God) is one of the principal forces driving us toward the abyss.
(I hope that I can show that the ideal of religious tolerance (born from the idea that everyone should have the freedom to think of God what he wants to) one of the main forces and drifts us the abyss)
For the question remains: Who says when and where the end is when - broad makes the science of morality - to the exclusion of God? Harris himself must have known because of its field of interest that some people stop themselves from God's commandments can not be when it comes to murder and Manslaughter is out of base motives. How should it look like when the bids that are now respected by many people vigorously (either because of fear of the servant (fear of punishment), or the fear of the son (fear of offending the loving father)), from the perennial invariable "hand" torn God and the restless, ever be passed in favor of its own projects run up against the projects of other people?
