Im not gonna watch that, but if you'd like, you can ask the question in your words and I'll answer.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

At 1:40 starts the short question. It lasts around 10 seconds.

Was this supposed to be the basis of a serious discussion?

No I'd rather you ask me.

If there was a god he wouldn't have created Sarah Silverman.  Case closed.

Ok then. No, I guess not. But thanks for offering.

For Pete's sake, how would you, Mr. OP, like it if I just posted interviews with famous theologians and apologetics without making any comment about why you should watch them? It's very rude of you to assume that we haven't already seen more than enough of these shitty atheist videos and dumbass memes. If you want to ask a SERIOUS question then ask your fucking question. THEN if I decide you are in fact SERIOUS I might give you a thoughtful response. Maybe if instead of letting YouTube videos do all your critical thinking for you, and you spent more time READING BOOKS then you would be educated enough to string together a complete sentence and start a real conversation.

Yeah I refuse to watch a video in place of discussion. EB says it's a stupid question anyway, so there's that too.
