Richard Dawkins Exposes Piers Morgan, Defends JK Rowling | On the Edge podcast 276

Join my new community for the censored bits!: andrewgold.locals.com/ Watch my next episode with atheist comedian David Baddiel: https://youtu.be/pKqdLQj_eqg. Are you a fan of Richard Dawkins? Are you religious? Atheist? All are welcome here.

Wow, an interviewer who allows their guest to actually finish their thought! Well done!

Richard is so relaxed and non-condescending and genuinely tries to understand and show interest. He is a lovely human being.

When Dawkins speaks you can see him pondering and reaching into his mind and getting out his mouth the exact honest version of how he sees things. If somebody showed him to be wrong in some idea and he suddenly realized he was wrong you can imagine him saying it out loud “you know what? You are right. I hadn’t realized that”. His only ego is in being ruled by what his mind tells him to be truthful. I so admire people like that.

Thank you inviting Mr Dawkins. I am a big fan professor Dawkins and have read most of his books so far. Brilliant interview

Your interviewer talent is that you are warm and quiet with your guest. Do not change. This interview is a treasure.

I have recently lost both my parents. Neither were believers. So they had no fear of heaven or hell. They knew they would simply cease to exist, as they had done before they were born, without pain, fear, or discomfort of any sort. I personally find that, extremely comforting. It also makes it extremely important, to live a fulfilling life, while we have the opportunity. 😊

Really enjoyable conversation from this listener's perspective. Polite, casual, genuine--like meeting Dawkins over a beer. Great stuff!

It is always a pleasure listening to Dawkins. He was one of the main voices of reason that helped me out of religion. I owe him a lot.

When my father died I was with him. He was a Christian. He believed that God was taking him home. I wish I could believe like he did. Coming home. Isn’t this what we all wish? And he died peacefully.

I owe Dr.Dawkins a great deal. Raised Roman Catholic, I'd ceased to belief in the charade by the time I was twelve, but kept it private so as not to hurt my parents. It wasn't a choice I made. I simply stopped believing because it seemed obvious to me that the priests didn't believe it. Dr.Dawkins helped me to make sense of it all. We can't comprehend the scale of time, we can't comprehend the scale of the Universe, and we can't comprehend the incremental nature of evolution that takes place over an incomprehensible length of time.

Wonderful show. I love Richard Dawkins. Amazing mind and has given so much to humanity. Great interview.

I watched this right after the Piers Morgan interview. What a contrast in interviewing styles. From a complete buffoon to a genuinely engaging and intelligent interviewer. Great job. Interesting stuff from Dawkins as usual too.

I find it refreshing to listen to an interviewee who's so comfortable responding to a question with, "I don't know."

When I was a kid I asked my father where lightning came from, he told me it was the clouds bumping into each other, causing sparks. I think this is how religion begins, son asks father something, father doesn't know, so makes something up.

Dawkins is a true world treasure for humanity. Long live, Richard Dawkins!

Chris Shelton was wearing a T-shirt with the print: "God made me an atheist. Don't question his wisdom." 😃💗

I love the fact that Dawkins says "I don't know": both as an honest reaction and a way of not being chivvied down the rabbit hole.

Richard Dawkins is such an intelligent and logical thinker...he is also honest and kind hearted. I could listen to him all day.

Who doesnt think Piers Morgan is a fool he is always on an ego trip only listens to his own voice 🙄😂 Andrew Gold is a true gem authentic honest and amazing to listen too covers really interesting subjects that people want to hear about long may he continue with his great work love from Inverness Scotland 🦕❤️
