  Former Christian. &nbsp;Once you step outside, you can never step inside again. The only thing religion does well is community. &nbsp;We all need to connect with people on a deeper level somehow

  It&apos;s clear Richard has an enormous amount of respect for you as an intellectual Alex. I could honestly listen to you both for hours

  &quot;Religion is true for the commoner, false for the wise, and useful for the politician.&quot; &nbsp; :body-blue-raised-arms:

  I love to see Dawkins looking great and sounding so eloquent after his stroke. At his age that could’ve taken him entirely out of the game so it’s great to see he has more in him still at the age of 82

  I was a devout Christian who lost faith at age 25. I was deeply practicing until I was 18, and I gradually drifted. At one point in my life I believed in god just enough to know that I was a bad Christian and that I&apos;d go to hell if I died, but not enough to prompt me to do anything about immediately. At age 25 I stopped believing in hell, and had no concept of death. In Christianity death is but a portal to the afterlife. Without faith, death was just the end of me. My mind couldn&apos;t digest the thought of just not existing. I lost sleep for many weeks. I expressed my anxiety to a close friend who told me &quot;You didn&apos;t exist for billions of years before you were born, right? You were fine then.&quot;<br>I slept like a baby that night.

  zero bullshit intro, straight into the interview. For that alone, I appreciate this channel. Great conversation

  Alex is definitely someone skilled in the art of ‘Kao wo tateru’ or ‘saving face’. I’ve noticed he never backs people in to a corner, and always gives them room to change their mind if needs be without being triumphant. He was very good at pulling on the thread of some of Richards arguments and gently asking questions that challenged him (quite fairly). Dawkins was very open to accept that Alex made ‘fair points’ and was happy to revisit and expand on them. Very good interview

  This is the best I have seen Richard since prior to his stroke. He looks vibrant and full of life and I’m all here for it.

  Lovely conversation and it was great to see Richard in good health both physically and mentally. He obviously enjoys interacting with Alex.

  Alex, I commend you on conducting an engaging and intellectual discussion while not becoming distracted by that one unbuttoned button on Dawkins&apos; shirt. Mad props.
