Thank you Cerronevado,
Not really (not like it's ever going to happen) because personally I feel he is disingenuous and not honest.
On the animal suffering issue, it's not something I think about very much because I am not particularly sensitive to those issues. I think I have enough on my plate learning to love and care for my neighbour. Again fully aware it is a big issue for people so not minimizing it and some would argue Christians should care about animals and the environment and such but I just don't have the same level of emotions towards animals as Alex or the average westerner does.
Appreciate the engagement.
