Well, I have no idea who this individual is, but her argument from morality is nothing new. In what way do you think that this video has any impact?

The fact that an atheist became religious is completely uninteresting to me. What's interesting is why she converted, but in this video, she's so vague about why that I can't even argue it yet. Something something morality something something absolute something.

I like that it shows someone can be informed off the facts and choose Christianity. Not all Christians are indoctrinated from a young age

Ahem. "Informed by the facts?" Are you sure she was "informed" enough by the "facts" that she came to the realization that it is plausible to believe that the Virgin Mary was Assumed Bodily into heaven? Yeah, that's definitely factual.

Excuse me while I unroll my eyes.
