"I don't know" the most unpopular but honest answer.

[redriver]

I always say.... I'm an optimistic agnostic. I pray that there is a God. I want to believe so

[guitarfreekin]

Suffering necessitates hope, and hope necessitates God. That is why suffering points to God.

This channel is a gift to humanity. Thank you!

[JohnOrbit]

“I agree with every atheistic argument except the conclusion” perfectly states how I feel. Wow.

[ThisGuy]

I can’t get enough of this top tier content. Marvellous

[Kenji]

It gives aesthetic pleasue when you see two intelligent person geniunely discuss something.

[neilrobertson]

Nice to see Robert opening up. Appreciated.

[deepaktripathi]

Robert is just like me. We both are searching for God. I'm fortunate that i can watch these episode on YouTube.

[ianbrown]

Boy, Sarah's good. I'm an absolute atheist, and she had me hanging on every word.

[ndAveScents]

I strive for Kuhns intellectual and personal honesty.

[jakepineda]

Ms. Sarah Copley's mind is razor sharp.

[gj]

Brilliant conversation. This series is addicting. A welcomed addiction.

[Aluminata]

I want to believe in God so my prayers will be answered. Particularly with repect to the lotto.

[jjharvathh]

So much silliness in this video. The silliness is coming from those who think you find God by thinking, by argument, by formulation, by rational thought. That never has been the way to find God, and does not work.

[caryd]

I do not fear death; I have fear of the moments leading to it.

[missusbarkdog]

This lady Sarah rocks. She's got the mojo and the intuitive understanding (if not complete intellectual masterhood) of the reality of the Creator, the creation and ultimately, the afterlife.

[el]

I love this conversation and it shows how open and fascinating Close to Truth is. I m not a believer but I am not an atheist either.

[blondilass]

I admire this guy Robert Lawrence Kuhn. Everything that's been bothering me about religion and God's existence etc seems to be addressed in this fascinating series. At the end of the day we all cease to exist and hope that there is an afterlife because it's too scary to die alone without believing that there is a heaven or something else. Thank you for these great video's.
