I think this shows that any religion based on rules made within the system (rational thought) will fail. Sam Harris just crashed new atheism by showing that its OK to behave outside of the system he created if he thinks its the right reason. By twisting his moral system, he can rationalize the censorship of the NY Post. Now he can rationalize anything: Fraud, Murder, etc. There is no limiting principle. It can be reduced to "Might makes right".

Precise and clear. As usual. Love your work.
