Thanks Jib. Most articles/links posted in a debate run the chance of being tldr when debating. I think it's generally frowned upon to start a thread based on just an article alone as well. It would be nice to have a repository of articles to read.
Anyhoo Sam Harris and Sean Carroll continue to go at it.
Did Jesus even claim to be the son of God or merely one of the people? The term “Son of Man,” which [Jesus] uses again and again, certainly isn’t the same as “Son of God,” and may merely be Aramaic for “folks like us.”
Pious readers will now execute the following pirouette: God cannot be judged by merely human standards of morality. But, of course, human standards of morality are precisely what the faithful use to establish God’s goodness in the first place. And any God who could concern himself with something as trivial as gay marriage, or the name by which he is addressed in prayer, is not as inscrutable as all that.
