I haven't seen a single smudge on Harris's view of scientifically derived morality this whole thread. Clearly none of his detractors have read him. In fact, some people on the atheist side don't seem to be defending it either. Not surprising. It has some philosophical nuance that's not well known.

For the those that want to actually try for it:

Yes, something like Harris's view would be the death of both religious morality and pomo in the multicultural sense. Sad that its been libelled more than wrestled with. I suppose that's the fate of most fine works thrust into a popular spotlight. Alas.
