Summary

Richard Morgan was a confirmed atheist for much of his life and a keen poster on the richarddawkins.net website. However, after becoming disillusioned with the mentality of some atheists on the website, he subsequently experienced a dramatic conversion to Christianity in 2008. He relates the story, along with Christian apologist David Robertson who had a hand in his conversion. Ed Turner a forthright atheist blogger (aka Manicstreetpreacher) joins the discussion as they look at the world of Christian and Atheist chat forums. Chat to this week's guests at the "Unbelievable?"
