Unbelievable? 21 Aug 2010 - Debating Apologetics Online
Playback speed
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.
