which is in essence simply a rather verbose version of what i stated.

If that is true, then you must have a far better grasp on the english language than I.

(This is a rather verbose way of saying "I disagree"😉

Out of curiosity, would you care to continue this conversation, and have a more general conversation about religion in general over a game of chess?

Hi if this is directed towards me, we can talk about religion but also perhaps we could talk, or rather you could teach me about Higgs boson, the 'God particle' and the particle accelerator, but please remember i am a noob and a dummy 🙂

Heh, strange. What I thought I posed was:

Cool, will send a game over your way as soon as one frees up for me. Any preferences on time control?

Sam Harris is a scientist and philosopher who advocates giving up religion and doing REAL things with our resources rather then dilute real human issues with worries about some god or other.
Maybe Sam Harris needs to go to an insane asylum 🙂
