Nope, not censoring. First time commenters get their comments held in the moderation queue. Once one comment is approved, future comments go straight into the thread. It’s a way of keeping out spam, and comments that don’t mean a (obviously very) minimal standard of worthwhileness.

Ah, I see you are censoring.

Well, feel free to email me and if I am wrong.

Or run and hide if you think I’m right.

So long.

Sam Harris disagrees. He thinks torture is necessary sometimes.

And so is pre emptive nuclear war.

And so is killing people with BELIEFS that atheists don’t like.

Etc.

Practitioners of atheistically based philosophies have killed millions.

Who ya kiddin, sport?

Sadly, many detainees (none of them convicted or known to be guilty of any crime) have already been raped, tortured, and murdered while in the hands of our people.

They have every reason to believe that these threats will be carried out.
