THE EVIL ATHEIST SAM HARRIS.
vs.
THE EX MUSLIM ATHEIST THAT IS EX MUSLIM.
So who has seen this video ?
You haven't ?
Seriously?
Well, you should really watch it, it's pretty awesome. Well, kind of awesome.
For me personally it was really cool to see two people that i know and enjoy content of, to see fighting. I'm not misusing the word fighting in my opinion, it was hardly a debate and for three god damn hours it was just going back and forth with just the same shit everyone knew and of course, Cenk politely explaining how he wrongly quoted Sam in a previews video by TyT.
The video is very long and most people either didn't watch it or did watch it yet didn't really listen it through, you know, how you leave some shit in the background as you're playing your playing your awesome computer game ? Yeah, this was that kind of a video.
Sam Harris is a really awesome person in my opinion. He is calm yet slightly agressive or as i would simply put it. He is not afraid to argue things that are not popular to argue against.
Cenk Uygur, as we all know is from the young turks. He's a cool guy i'm okay with him often but i do think he often gets himself in a situation where he has argued something wrognly yet done it with such passion that it makes him look like an idiot... Yeah, i'm sorry to say that but its definitely true.
Check out this video of a small bash on Cenk.
Although, i think the creater kind of, overdid the flaming towards him. I mean hey, he is not a bad guy and most of his thoughts are okay.
The problem for me with Cenk's ideas is that a lot of he says is just not relevant to the actual topic. He is, indeed bias as heck. Which is why i think the battle between Cenk and Sam did not just go away, it's kind if an on-going battle, one sided thought, since Cenk is the one making videos about Sam. EVEN after the three hour "debate" they had.
The actual argument itself.
Of course, this all is besides the point even if Cenk mis-used Sam's words, threated him ignorantly and was bias towards the conversation Just made weak points in my opinion. The argument still is there, if both of them are atheists how can they argue about religion? Well, It's not as simple as religion wrong or right. In fact, it's not an argument about that at all. What they argue about roots from this video with Ben Affleck and Bill Maher.
Probably anyone who knows who Sam Harris is, has seen this, since it has almost three million views on the internet and back in the day it was really featured on many medias.
Sam made perfectly sensible arguments and did not go bigot, racist or in any way intolerant towards Ben, muslims or anyone else. Ben Affleck, who i obviously love and respect as an actor, is a good actor and that's all i can say he is good at. Obviously he tried to sound smart using his amazing acting skills against Sam's well argued opinion, which it actually kind of won at, since in the video it almost seems as if Sam has said something so horrid that Ben was just barely calming himself down. He did get a little Diva-like in my opinion but that's again, just my opinion.
To be continued....
