Alex O'Connor along with Ben Shapiro really get to the crux of spirituality. Both Men explain their side extremely well and allow the viewers to make up their own mind.
💯🤯

Can we acknowledge how 2 people with different ideas sat down and had a civilized conversation even though they dont agree.

[ShiloRich]

Brilliantly articulated! It's nice to watch a peaceful debate without the sloppy, incoherent mess of people talking or yelling over one another ! Love it!❤

I remember my 7th grade omnibus teacher teaching me this:

"What is evil? Athanasius and Augustine teach that evil is a privation, an absence of good. Evil has no independant existance. It is a cancer on original goodness."

[jonathanspencer]

I think these two made for a great discussion. Civilized and gracious - they had a light touch in their debate .

[Meyer-gpnq]

I love how neither party is afraid to say explicitly what they believe, but are not aggressive about it. Well done, such a rarity these days

[NEXTMARKDESIGN]

Ben did great in this debate. Alex is brilliant and one of my favorite debaters, so impressed by how well Ben did being less enveloped in this space. Alex was also excellent as usual.

Ben Shapiro finally debating a worth opponent

Great video, and I like that Alex and Ben simultaneously upload bits of this discussion. Also, I love the lighting in that room.

[Nightwizard]

God decides what is evil, Jesus called out evil, and the Bible tells us what is evil, and we are to resist evil

Capturing Christianity and Inspiring Philosophy had the best analysis of this debate

[monsieurcharcutier]

We can't all speak as well as Ben Shapiro so it's nice to see the religious perspective being defended so intelligently.

It is great to see Alex debating with Ben. For me it seems like Alex has grown up on You Tube in front of my eyes. A very smart guy and it has been fun listen to him.

"Evil is dehumanizing belief, intent, or activity in the ugly extreme, featuring an utter absence of empathy and at least some degree of satisfaction in its perpetration." - great definition of evil by Robert Augustus Masters

[surviveplusbushcraft]

If an action breaks your neighbors bone or empty his pocket book it is an evil action, if thoughts lead to those types of actions those are evil thoughts.

[hmspain]

Two of my favorite people debating. Brilliant!

[Nathan-vtjz]

At least he is honest about nihilism and the lack of moral ‘good’ in atheism.

[ForTheForsaken]

I have to agree with Ben in this discussion; It is much safer in a society that does not decide individually, what is right and what is wrong. People are flawed and the fear of God is the only way to keep them in check. A 'moral absolute', God.

ive always said that im conservative leaning without the religion. Im almost completely on Alex's side. Also cool to see him get to this level of debate and public eye. Was watching his cosmic skeptic channel when it first started
