I'm a lot closer to Jordan than Shapiro when it comes to logic, but I'm still also close to Harris views. I think Shapiro takes some of the genuinely important parts of the bible without analysing them too much, while Jordan wants to know why and how they work. It's like they all own a good car, Ben knows losely how it works, but he mostly insists this car is the best and we should keep it. Jordan and Harris want to know how it works, but Harris goes deeper possibly too deep, wanting to build the car from scratch, while Jordan tries to rebuilt the car fully understanding how the parts work. I do believe Harris is right at the end of the day. The big flaw in Ben's logic is the simple fact that not the entire world is Christian (or any of those religions with the same foundations), Islam and all other religions have very different foundations, hence why I think it's more important to study everything from scratch, it might be a lot harder, but it's not impossible. It's actually not building logic from scratch, Shapiro is right in part saying that Harris does use some "christian" logic in his argumentation, but Ben's case is that most of it is Judeo christian logic, that I cannot agree with.
