  I really like the spirit of this channel. <br>It seems to me it is most oriented toward truth rather than some aggressive bashing of someone&apos;s beliefs for the sake of it.

  I wish this was how all religious/atheist dialogue played out.

  I really like how Bishop Barron speaks. When I first heard him talk I remember thinking: this man knows peace in a way that is foreign to me, and I want that peace. It’s so compelling. God bless him.

  Devout Catholic here from Ireland 🇮🇪. <br>Subscribed .<br>I have listened to both sides of the arguments for past 6 years or so.<br><br>Eventually coming back to catholocism.<br><br>I love atheists that interrogate my faith as hard as possible. <br>I love it more when my faith can withstand it.

  I&apos;m a non theist and found this a very beautiful and honest discussion free of animosity. Very refreshing.

  I know that this is a deeply unpopular opinion, but as a lifelong skeptical seeker of God, I’ve found that poetry brings me infinitely closer to faith than purely rational argument, and in that sense there are few modern religious thinkers that I enjoy listening to more than Bishop Barron. Great content, Alex!

  Excellent conversation conducted by two intelligent individuals in a respectful and honest manner. Rare and much needed. Regardless of your beliefs this is worthy of respect.

  Bishop Barron is such an amazing communicator. I haven’t believed in God all my life and I’m still not quite sure what I believe, but his exposition is very compelling. Major props to you Alex for having this discussion honestly and respectfully.

  As an atheist who was raised Catholic who returned the the Catholic Church as a 30 year old, I appreciate that you are giving Bishop Barron the time. While Jordan Peterson caught me while I was atheist, Bishop Barron secured my return home. Thank you for the podcast!

  Most people in Alex&apos;s shoes would not have said they started eating some animal products again; they would just keep up a charade. Alex didn&apos;t. He communicated openly about his struggles even though he was strongly incentivized not to go through the personal attacks for that.
