Yes. It does not happen often, but when He decides to let His presence be known, it is a pretty amazing feeling.

Now, which version did you choose?

I haven't really gotten hung up much over questions of which particular denomination to follow. I feel like it's more important now to understand what the Scriptures themselves actually say, and to see how it all stacks together. There are a number of "contradictions" to the Scriptures that non-believers love to nitpick about, but are in fact nothing of the sort when one actually reads them carefully.

The example of Christ talking about throwing the children's bread to the dogs, contrasted with St. Paul talking about how there is neither Jew nor Gentile in Christ, is one such, where if one actually bothers to look closely, there is no contradiction.

I will readily concede, though, that the Catholics have done more to advance the cause of human enlightenment, progress, and happiness than literally anyone else.

And, and welcome, Bro. Now we need to work on your Yankee citizenship.

Thank you, sir. With some luck, that latter may come through someday, but no matter what, I know now that I will never, ever be truly alone again – which is a big change from where I was a year ago.

Yes, I know it's true. Don't expect to feel it all the time; you would become jaded. But there will be moments when the presence of God is so strong that…well…it's better than sex.

Now, which version did you choose? Personally, I think God has more on His plate than to worry about minor variables of dogma and doctrine, but I – Francis the never sufficiently to be damned notwithstanding – kind of prefer Catholic.

And, and welcome, Bro. Now we need to work on your Yankee citizenship.

I came across the Examen of St. Ignatius when I read a biography about Steve Bannon last year. They look promising.

Things have been pretty interesting since then. Without going into too many details just yet, let's just say this:

All of that stuff that Christians talk about with respect to getting high on the Holy Spirit, and how good it feels to be a player instead of a fan, and how you become a very different, and much better, person after you accept Christ?

It's all 100% true.

Well… technically, I already did. Got down on my knees a few weeks ago and basically said, "OK, JC, you win. I'm done arguing and fighting. I'm a Christian, I believe in God the Father of Christ Jesus, and I believe that Jesus is my Saviour and King".

I haven't been baptised yet, but that will happen sooner rather than later – just as soon as I get out of Pagan Country and into a place with proper churches to do that sort of thing.
