I like Alex, he's actually intellectually honest and unbiased as far as I've seen. He seems to actually respect everyone and be in search of actual truth.

[Hammster]

You know Dawkins has no comeback when he has to resort to poking fun

[juansolo]

Skeptic - “But what about humility?”
Dawkins - “What’s humility?”

[dangibbons]

Christian here but fan of Alex’s nonetheless (certainly keeps me on my toes). What I liked about this interview is how he didn’t just fawn over Dawkins but instead went down the route of challenging him on a number of topics. I much prefer it when two people who share the same view can still challenge one another. Great interview!

[lebayhsok]

That was actually a valid question. I hope Dawkins gave an actual answer instead of just scoffing at his theology degree.

[Biolo-G_KJ]

As an atheïst I'm rather dissapointed by Dawkins reactions. Not only here but alot of times. He doesn't seem to know humility.

[thatguyk.]

I liked the part where Dawkins gave him a real answer 😐

[willdaugherty]

As a Christian, I really appreciate Alex’s response here. He kindly retorted against Dawkins strawman by posing a reasonable question, and Dawkins resorted to his usual holier-than-thou close-minded snobbery. Dawkins is as committed to a worldview (if not more-so) than the theists he condescends toward.

Richard Dawkins quote “I’m sorry…I don’t have any clue what I’m talking about…it’s not a real subject is it?” End quote…

[ritchiediggs]

Dawkins can be so unphilosophical. It’s amazing.

[warpshield]

I think Dawkins really has a distaste for philosophy and theology in general. He completely disregards metaphysical aspects of life. I love that Alex actually took the time to study theology to help bridge the gap from sceptisism and theism. To try and understand both sides and find some common ground.

Alex is the only true skeptic I have seen on social media. This is a perfect example of his willingness to to explore, and does expose others desire to only be right…

I suspect someone who believes that babies haven't committed any immoral act haven't worked in childcare

[danielfernandezpeinado]

It is true that with humility comes wisdom. Dawkins has no humility and his only "argument" is mockery.
Thank you Alex for being such an amazing skeptic and not getting stuck in the unreasonable mockery that the inmense majority of atheists show. Your humility shows a good will to learn instead of settling for vanity and presumptuousness. I love you so much.

[McSmurfy]

He who thinks of himself wise is a fool and he who thinks of himself a fool is wise.

[murilomurilo]

Alex is trying so hard not to offend him with basic philosophical knowledge

[vladimirimp]

"Created sick and commanded to be well" was how Hitchins put it, I think.

[daringethic]

Alex this is a fantastic interview - you inspire me deeply
