“…we are offending people [by challenging their religious beliefs], but we are [also] telling them that they are wrong to be offended.
Physicists aren’t offended when their view of physics is disproved or challenged. This is not the way rational minds operate when they’re really trying to get at what’s true in the world.
And religions purport to be representing reality and yet there's this peevish and tribal and ultimately dangerous reflexive response to having these ideas challenged.
We are pointing to the total liability of that.” - Sam Harris.
