Did you notice how much of Harris's response was 
devoted to beating the stuffing out of a straw man,
i.e., the purported miracles of Jesus? Sullivan
didn't invoke those miracles at all in his argument.

To my mind, whenever someone expends a lot of effort
in creating and then demolishing a straw man, it's
an indication that he senses the rest of his argument
is deficient in some way.

What was it about Sullivan's argument, I wonder,
that made Harris feel something was lacking in
his response?
