  • As an atheist I absolutely love Justin. He is by far my favorite theist interviewer. He treats us atheists with respect and comes across as genuine. Keep up the great interviews. I really enjoyed the dialogue between Peter and the theist. Peter is a brilliant thinker.
  • @luke31ish
    These types of talks are way more interesting and fruitful than the exhausted "atheism vs Christianity" debates.
  • @gipperbr
    I absolutely love the sincerely respectful way that Peter and Andy discuss ideas that they disagree about. They both clearly and confidently present their arguments, but neither of them seems motivated by "winning" the argument. They both seem to truly hear the other and have open minds that could be swayed or changed if they were to hear a sufficiently convincing argument or evidence. Far too often the participants in discussions or debates such as this one are extremely close-minded and exhibit an air of intellectual, moral, or spiritual superiority.
  • @JohnThomas
    Great to watch this polite debate between Peter and Andy again. I like the way Peter cleared up some of the misconceptions Andy and Justin had about his views. It's not easy to find holes in the arguments of a philosophical heavyweight like him. He is logical, easy to understand and forceful.
  • Wonderfully pleasant discussion. This has been one of the least confrontational and positive conversations I've seen, debating such contentious ideas, in a long time. Well done!
  • Peter Singer is a wonderful writer and thinker. This was a superb discussion and I really enjoyed watching it.
  • Thank you very much. For my money, one of the best conversations I’ve watched on the show.
  • @Lexaire
    This video is criminally underwatched. So many of yours are.
  • Peter Singer is a truly great mind. Wonderful conversation.
  • Thank you! :)
  • I agree with Peter Singer that a being’s dignity or worth is not predicated on membership to a specific species. Andy Bannister seems to believe it does and he never addressed this sufficiently.
  • Justin is brilliant and very likable! I really appreciate his understanding the issues well enough to ask the most pertinent questions..... Kudos!
  • @AB-ks4ob
    One of the best moderators I’ve listened to so far 👍
  • @Bibappu
    What a great discussion, salute to all participants!
  • @peterf90
    Both Peter and Andy were excellent and the mutual respect and civility of their conversation was quite refreshing. Also Justin the interviewer is very good at framing the discussion so that the average person can understand the material being covered. Great video subscribed.
  • Great discussion. Both respectful and still explored their world views
  • So refreshing to hear two respectful people who are well read, knowledgeable and thoughtful discussing controversial topics with respect and dignity. A complete role model for all the other screamers and head bangers out there. THANK YOU.
  • Interesting talk and absolutly wonderful moderator, just intervening enough and letting the discussion flow. This could have been even better if Andy didn't jump from point to point and faced more rigorous questions from Peter and the moderator. Andy bringing up Mr. Singer's mother struck me as a bit disrespectful, or at least the way he approached that topic.
