Love Sam’s style. He doesn’t feel the need to rush, raise his voice or become shrill to make a point. He calmly outlines his point, and is so much more effective than many others out there.

Sam Harris is not the typical college student that Ben tends to dominate.

Give Ben Shapiro credit for uploading a clip where Sam Harris owns him.

If only our politicians could debate like this.

Considering the long-standing animosity between these two, it is quite remarkable to witness them engage each other with such respect and class. This is a masterclass on how every debate should unfold if the participants are genuinely in pursuit of truth.

I’m a Christian and I thought this was such a great conversation. A constructive exchange of ideas, even when seeing things through different lenses.

One should take notice of the calmness emanating from this discussion. Notice how we, for once, do not suffer two people aggressively trying to debunk each other with wordplay and low comments. It is nice to hear each two people actually have conversation about a fairly big topic - this also, when one is a believer and one is not.

Listening to Sam years ago was when I started to really deconstruct after 20+ years as a Christian. Learning to understand why I believed what I believed changed everything, still does to this day. I've found myself being more humble, understanding, learning as much as possible about the world and above all being empathetic to the world and it's inhabitants.

I get asked all the time "why? Isn't that a sad way to live???" No, it puts the focus on the NOW and helps to encourage me to truly live the one life I can confirm I have. No offense to anyone, but I feel like I've shed my mental blinders and shackles. Your mileage may vary.

Love hearing Sam and Ben have discussions like these.

It's a stretch to say that the Roman Empire fell because of Christianity, especially since the Eastern Roman Empire was devoutly Christian and maintained itself for 1000 more years past the fall of the western empire. We know the reasons for the fall of the west, and if a change in culture such as Christianity can be blamed, it would have only contributed on a minute level.

I used to dislike Ben. But as someone who considers himself “open minded”, I have been listening to to him more and more. Since he was on Bill Maher. I have come to like him a lot. I don’t always agree but I respect the guy. Also, Sam Harris is a beast as well. Good to see two very smart, well spoken guys debate the right way.

[BarGirlNongnootinThailand]

It’s great that they both give each other space to shape their argument and clearly identify different points of their view to create a strong narrative for both sides and you get good reason to give merit to the ideas discussed. Very illustrative 😊

[Future_looksbright]

I don’t always agree with everything they say but I appreciate their composure and ability to have a conversation while being in disagreement. This is what freedom of speech should look like. 🇺🇸 🙏

[imeleventeen]

Although I agree with Sam Harris, I have to respect Ben for putting this on. This is the type of human interaction I like.

[cameronscottcairney]

Ben- good on you for hosting this format of discussion. We need more content that encourages real thought!

[someonenotcringy]

Wow this is what debates should be like on the news incredible

[FilmBuffBros]

This video should be used in schools as an example of how to respectfully disagree and debate.

“Christianity was responsible for the fall of the [Western] Roman Empire.”

Eastern Orthodox (Byzantine) Roman Empire surviving until 15th century: “Am I joke to you?”

(Revised)
As an Evangelical Christian I respect Sam Harris, even if I disagree with his views. I am very grateful for Ben Shapiro's work & values.

Ben: ''Facts and logic!''
Also Ben: ''So, let's pretend facts and logic don't exist when I don't like the reality'' :D
