Interesting essay until it revealed itself only to be an elaborate pot-shot on a politician he apparently doesn't like.

  I'm wondering who in his right mind can like this particular politician. Mormonism (as recently said in Sam Harris' last post) is as crazy a religion as you get; and it all goes downhill from there. Geez, even Clint Eastwood admitted in cover words that he wasn't taking his party's candidate seriously. (I'm European BTW; as you know, something like 80 or 90% of Europe would vote Obama without thinking twice about it according to the polls).

    "Mormonism (as recently said in Sam Harris' last post) is as crazy a religion as you get;" Come on, what religion isn't crazy in reality? Grading each religion on their value based on their "crazy factor" shows most of the world's religions would get a failing grade.

      > Come on, what religion isn't crazy in reality? I'm an atheist, thus of course I thik all religions to be crazy; however many have for them at least the fake lustre of ancient venerability, and the excuse of originating from simpler times where the relation to magic and miracles were different.

    Harris is really not the best source for information on the craziness of Mormonism, both he and Dawkins can't get their facts straight on several key issues. I'm a 'Mormon' and it's obvious everytime they open their mouths on the subject that they are as unaware on the nuances of the theme as creationists are with the nuance of Natural Selection.

      The fact that Mormonism as a religion is quite crazy fortunately doesn't tell much about Mormons. Everyone is stupid in her/his own personal way :-)
