He's an idiot.

Post-modernism has already been discredited 50 years ago.

Reza Aslan has already exposed this Israeli Zionist as a fraud

This has to be bait.

The explosion of moral relativism and the reject of absolute truth comes from post-modernism.

Albert Mohler already explained all of this.

Since when was Sam Harris a moral relativist? His philosophy is basically a utilitarian.

He does not believe in God, therefore there is no absolute morality.

His "objective" morality is just whatever the majority of the society agrees with, aka herd mentality.

You don't know what postmodernism is. No idea whatsoever.

Forgive me if I don't trust a bunch of randians.
I've actually read the book, he basically boils morality and ethics into maximizing psychological "wellbeing"; essentally utilitarianism for health as said.

>dude lmao science can figure out morality

>well-being is somehow scientifically quanitifable
>PS nuke the middle east

He should stick to his specialty.

Never go full Reza desu

I don't get you people. Supposing God exists, which god invented morals, how did he do it, and who gets to analyse and question him?

>which god invented morals

None, God as goodness itself is the foundation upon which morality rests.

Philosophers don't take Sam Harris seriously, it doesn't matter whether or not they're religious. Sam Harris got BTFO by Simon Blackburn who is probably an even bigger fedora.

>None, God as goodness itself is the foundation upon which morality rests.

This is true, for you. This is the foundation upon which your morality rests. Unfortunately for you and society it's the most shitty foundation possible.

So he's a Humanist, pursuit of happiness and all.

The reason you get disgusted at rape or murder is because God gave you a conscience of right and wrong.

You're welcome.

one of the greatest thinkers of our day.

The reason why you feel God's love is the same reason why an otaku feels love for their waifu. You are so mind cucked that the culturally transmitted mental illness you are infected with has hijacked your emotions on a fundamental level. You're welcome.

It's a psychological thing with primates, we are very tuned to other's emotions, nothing to do with any supernatural beleif.
