Thankful for the centuries of ignorance and obstacles to scientific progress that it has caused?
Shut up, Fly.
Yes, at least it's somewhat reformed now and it's not Islam. I'll grant. So for that we should be thankful, and I guarantee that's not lost on Sam Harris or any other thoughtful atheists. But Christianity is still not truly conducive to human flourishing.

Believe it or not he has written and spoken about a myriad of other topics that don't involve Hey-Zeus. So no, he doesn't exactly owe his "celebrity status" to Christianity.

^ Yes, they do. He's extremely well spoken and articulate and would make a big intellectual impact with or without Hey-Zeus.
Hey! They said the same thing about Prez Obama...Maybe Sam should run for Prez...of something.

I love this guy. I just ordered a couple of his books. Some highlights from this video:~ If you're born in the wrong part of the world, then sorry, you just missed the correct revelation to get to heaven.
~ Christianity is a cult of human sacrifice and when put in different contexts makes it look like the beliefs of a lunatic.
~ Serial killers can go to heaven after a life of evil brutality just by saying a few words on death row.
~ God is praised with some activities, but does he get the blame for atrocities? No, it's said that he's "mysterious."
~ When Elves die in The Lord of the Rings they can be reborn in Middle Earth. lol
~ The God of the Bible is morally corrupt, but because it's declared that "He's God," it doesn't matter what he does or says, it's automatically good because he's God.

These are a lot of the same issues I bring up with Religion. I don't know how an omnipotent, all loving God could allow the suffering seen on a daily basis. Although, if we take the Bible literally, when God does get fed up with our sin, he just kills nearly everyone and everything on the planet.

When talking about religions like Christianity or Islam you need to be specific, this is a figurative slaughtering of Christians. The guy didn't..rain meteors down on a city, only a crazed super villain would do that.One time I was watching the Justice League cartoon and the villains were evil Atlanteans and they wanted to kill people by flooding the entire world. What kind of crazy a-hole would ever think of something that horrific?
I was once faced with the same questions. And these are the responds I got.
1. Are you excluded from heaven if you are born in a part of the world where Christianity isn't being taught? Take the Mayas for instance. They were on the other side of the continent when Jesus came to Earth.
Romans 2: 12 - 16: All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
The answer is yes and no. God will take your case as a special one. And you shall be judged rightfully.
Now putting it under our limited brains perception. I'll give you guys an example:
If a person is isolated from the world's morality. And when unleash he goes outside and kills your family in a brutal way. Are his actions good and not evil? The answer is No.
He might have never heard that killing is bad, but his actions are no less from being bad.
HOWEVER is he bad? No. He had no knowledge on good or evil. So although his actions are evil his person isn't sinful.
2. WHAAT!????
3. Yes and No. There is a big difference between saying am sorry, and meaning it.
If a serial killer before his death were to say, "Am sorry". Most likely he will be sent to hell.
If Hitler, before dying were to think of his life. And cry, and mourn, and ask the greatest for forgiveness from the deepest of his heart. You can expect to see Hitler in Heaven if you make it.
4. When did God committed an Atrocity?
5. If he is God (Which i believe he is). Why would he ever be wrong?
He created everything. He made everything. He can do as he wishes. It might be wrong to your eyes, but why should God even care of your opinion?
I mean, who are you to instruct God into what is good and bad?
He created you. You owe him your life. What right do you have to question his authority?

But let me give you an example:
My parents created me. I owe them my life. Would it be okay if they'd tortured, raped and killed me? Hell no. Based on your logic though, I'd had no right to question their authority.
4. When did God committed an Atrocity?
He murdered everyone in the world besides one family. That's genocide. He threatens to do it again.
5. If he is God (Which i believe he is). Why would he ever be wrong?
Who you are doesn't change what is considered to be wrong. If I murdered a bunch of people, the masses would think that's wrong.
He created everything. He made everything. He can do as he wishes. It might be wrong to your eyes, but why should God even care of your opinion?
I created children. I can't kill them as I see fit. That's wrong in almost everyone who is a rational human being's eyes. Him caring or not would only show how much of a sociopath he is.
I mean, who are you to instruct God into what is good and bad?
Since I don't believe in God, I would say that I would be instructing the shit author on what is good and bad. (Those people really could have used a good editor)
He created you. You owe him your life. What right do you have to question his authority?
Same point as my children argument. I gave them life, but it is not okay for me to murder them.
