This was posted here by Monsieur B for one reason only: It is an example of someone who identified as an atheist converting to Christianity, by her own account. That's the reason he posted it here, That it mentioned Oxford and Peter Singer was just iceing on the cake. The author is a young lecturer at a University in Australia.
There's nothing notable about her conversion. Such things happen. She was 28 years old when it happened. When she's 56 years old, she might be an atheist again. Who knows and who cares?
It's all silliness. People convert from atheist to theism from time to time. People convert from theism to atheism, arguably in larger numbers. It was important enough to our DU co-poster to dig back two years to find a story about an atheist converting to Christianity. Why, I don't know. It's unremarkable. Sarah is relatively unremarkable. Oxford is remarkable. Peter Singer thinks he is remarkable.
And so, there it is. In a grander scheme of things, none of this matters in any way.
