I was very disappointed in Sam’s book. I thought it was an embarrassment. The arguments just didn’t hold up at all. I’ve wondered if he didn’t really believe it, and it was just a memetic ploy meant to entice the religious away by telling them they can still have their Objective Morality if they accept otherwise rationalistic epistemology.
With the passing of HItchens, and Sam busy writing bad philosophy, the Four Horsemen have unfortunately run out of gas. Tragic for the movement that Hitchens passed away.
