Summary

The place where many Christians engage with atheists about belief is online. But why do both sides turn up to engage in the conversation, and what is the fruit? Todd Pitner and Richard Morgan are adult converts to Christianity who often engage in apologetics debate online. They meet face to face with Paul Baird - one of the many atheists they debate online. All three are members of the Premier Community where apologetics debate is common at the "Unbelievable?" group http://www.premiercommunity.org.uk/group/unbelievable They discuss the different style, tactics and motives of those who participate and whether atheists or Christians are prepared to change their mind. For Todd's apologetics website see http://www.iloveatheists.com/ For Richard's musical talents see http://www.myspace.com/morgansoriginals For Paul Baird's new blog http://patientandpersistant.blogspot.com/ For more Christian/non Christian debate visit http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable or get the podcast at http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx or Via Itunes If you enjoyed this programme you may also enjoy: Unbelievable? 27 Mar 2010 - Former atheists conversion experiences - Is it evidence for God?
