Sam Harris on the creator writing books (too many)





Our situation is this: most of the people in this world believe that the Creator of the universe has written a book. We have the misfortune of having many such books on hand, each making an exclusive claim as to its infallibility. People tend to organize themselves into factions according to which of these incompatible claims they accept—rather than on the basis of language, skin color, location of birth, or any other criterion of tribalism. Each of these texts urges its readers to adopt a variety of beliefs and practices, some of which are benign, many of which are not. All are in perverse agreement on one point of fundamental importance, however: "respect" for other faiths, or for the views of unbelievers, is not an attitude that God endorses. While all faiths have been touched, here and there, by the spirit of ecumenicalism, the central tenet of every religious tradition is that all others are mere repositories of error or, at best, dangerously incomplete. Intolerance is thus intrinsic to every creed. Once a person believes—really believes—that certain ideas can lead to eternal happiness, or to its antithesis, he cannot tolerate the possibility that the people he loves might be led astray by the blandishments of unbelievers. Certainty about the next life is simply incompatible with tolerance in this one. - Sam Harris

Atheists and Spirituality

Adapted from an earlier posting of mine at www.newageislam.com


I believe, it is healthy to understand one religion in the context of other religions; and so it is equally healthy to talk about religions in the context of atheism. This approach should not be regarded as means of rating these entities in terms of their superiority or inferiority.
Atheism for that reason should not be viewed an anti religious ideology to rob religion of it virtues. In fact atheism adds a new dimension to one’s faculty of critical thinking and reasoning – if one desires so.
Atheism is often regarded as devoid of spiritual values which are also not the case. There are no dogmas “Thou Shalt” or Thou Shalt Not” in atheism. Some do nurture spiritual values while some do not
Here is a recent article by the well known Atheist/Neuroscientist Sam Harris where his opening paragraphs starts by expressing his reverence to Jalaluddin Rumi
http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/on-spiritual-truths

Atheists on Spirituality (Sam’s talk)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLIKAyzeIw4&feature=relmfu

Also, since Ashok Sharma commented “what about sects and religions which do not believe in the concept of God?”
Yes that is a legitimate question and I asked that question to Richard Dawkins when he was here at the Silicon Valley, California.
Part 1 is Dawkin’s Talk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8oixIeCxdo

Part 2 is the Q/A
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcUO4jL315s

In part 2 at the counter reading of 7:06 one can hear my voice asking him the question that Ashok raised. Toward the end counter reading 21:33 there was another comment from someone among the audience which was even more elaborate than what Dawkins gave.
I have added Part 1 of Dawkins talk since here he does allude to mystical experience, and ecstasy as reported by many Sufis and Mystics. Dawkins refers to them as Einsteinian religion with which many atheists and agnostics relate to.

Comments are always welcomed. SR

Received from somone in Lahore, Pakistan

A thought provoking Paradox!!!!
...
The Moslems aren't happy!
They're not happy in Gaza.
They're not happy in Egypt.
They're not happy in Libya.
They're not happy in Morocco.
They're not happy in Iran.
They're not happy in Iraq.
They're not happy in Yemen.
They're not happyin Afghanistan.
They're not happy in Pakistan.
They're not happy in Syria.
They're not happy in Lebanon.

And where are they happy?
They're happy in England.
They're happy in France.
They're happy in Italy.
They're happy in Germany.
They're happy in Sweden.
They're happy in the USA.
They're happy in Norway.

They're happy in every country that is not Moslem!

And who do they blame?
Not Islam.
Not their leadership. Not themselves.

THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES
THEY ARE HAPPY IN !!!!

Afghanistan's cruel sport

The following quote of mine appears on paragraph 15 from the top (or paragraph 5 from the bottom.) "England banned fox-hunting, Spain is banning the bullfight, and the lesson is that pastimes involving cruelty belong in the past, as they are games of shame that spotlight callousness more than skill," says Syed Rizvi, a spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703841904576256632384932122.html

Dawkins on one's ability to reason...

Quote from Richard Dawkins "When your ability at reasoning has not yet developed, even the most idiotic claims can be treated as given facts. Things learned in the earliest childhood can reside in one’s mind for the rest of his/her life without the carrier being aware of their origins". R.Dawkins


My comment: Just take a look at any religion: Majority of people believe without any doubt that only their religion is the right one. Ever wonder why? Syed Rizvi

Wife Beating: Quran 4.34

Translations of the Qur'an

http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran

004.034
Trnslations for three differnt sources

YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).


PICKTHAL: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.


SHAKIR: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

What to make out of a nation that ......

What do we make out of a nation that glorifies a guard who shoots at a defenseless person from behind his back, whereas the guard had assumed the responsibility of protecting the person in the first place?

The guard did it for the love of the Prophet of course.
And the nation calls the guard a "Ghazi" a highest honor that can be bestowed upon someone who kills an enemy of Islam.
