And I think it's funny when people who no longer have anything of substance to say immediately put forth these baseless accusations that I'm being unoriginal. But since you seem so sure of yourself, I'd like to challenge you to find anything by Harris that even remotely resembles what I've written here.
By the way, the universe being devoid of purpose isn't something I insist upon, but highly suspect. Nor is it something I try to rationalize with morality. The fact that all religion is fueled by a strong undercurrent of solipsism and immoral, irrational thought is simply an unhappy feature of them, not a reason for which they're less likely to be correct about the nature of the cosmos. I'm only putting forth the moral argument here to make the point that being a believer neither exempts you from immorality, nor makes you unintelligent.
