Ryan and I first met on a university campus on 11 September 2014, and had a nice discussion. Other than briefly spotting him while talking with the leader of his on-campus ministry, I never ran into him again.
On 26 April 2016 I woke up to a message via Twitter from Ryan saying, "Hello, you interviewed me at UTSA a while ago when I was a Christian! Thanks for that!". We connected and then met at a quiet park to conduct this interview on 6 May 2016.

While our first talk seemed to be a catalyst in Ryan's journey from belief to non-belief, the subsequent resources he discovered from pioneers in the atheist community (e.g., Dawkins, Penn & Teller, Nye, Hitchens, etc.), as well as the non-believing colleagues he encountered in his daily life, must not be discounted.
I stand in awe of Ryan's bravery and perseverance to discover truth through skepticism.
Ryan and I both agreed to dedicate this video to Dr. Richard Dawkins.
Note: If you can afford to be an "out" atheist, please consider doing so. Normalizing atheism will help other non-believers join our ranks.
Note: If you are a former interlocutor of mine and wish to meet again, please do not hesitate to reach out like Ryan did here. I would love to hear from you.
