I'm not going to bother going any further in arguing with you on this topic, after you picked out a portion of a long post, gave it the most uncharitable interpretation possible, accused me of being "smug and vapid", and then made a bunch of unsupported statements. Incidentally, Peter12's criticism of him was nonsensical in that Harris isn't a Buddhist of any stripe, but that's beside the point.
As for what I actually said there, I'm in fact mirroring the observations made by Neil Degrasse Tyson in the podcast I posted earlier. While I'm not going to appeal to his authority and suggest that that makes me right and you wrong, I will say that I'm okay being in his company on this and leave it at that. Feel free to ignore the guy if you don't like him.
