Why Are Atheists So Angry?

And while we are contemplating the big questions - here is an interesting exchange from both corners:

Day 1 (Sam Harris): Why Are Atheists So Angry? | Jewcy.com

Much as i admire Sam Harris’ argument, and think that its very necessary to vocalise his view- in a time when fundamentalism from Texas to Afghanistan is buggering minds and nations.

I just wish that when discussing Gaad, that Gaad was first defined. Is Gaad the sum of everything, and is this sum-of-everything-being actually interested in the bedroom antics of your average Texan, or Iranian? Does seem kind of unlikely. Is Gaad a dimly perceived natural law of the universe that could aid your actions in life. Is Gaad in the universe or is Gaad apart from the universe. Enquiring minds want to know.
Well i guess the nature of Gaad would be another discussion. But i do wonder- if they could actually define what they meant by Gaad, then perhaps each side of the discussion would be able to understand what the other side is going on about… Doesn’t the Koran have something about the secret names of Gaad?

Letsatsi game lodge

As part of the annual Scorpio dinner, Barbara invited us all to lunch/brunch/dinner at Letsatsi - the web site needs some work, it doesn’t convey any real sense of this amazing game lodge. Unfortunately we were far too bloated from the endless buffet courses to take up the offer of a game drive.
