Izdaari said:Books have also had a big impact on my religious views: Books by Alan Watts and C.S. Lewis were decisive in changing me first from an agnostic to a Zen/Tao/Vedanta Eastern syncretist, and then to a Christian.
The first few chapters of Mere Christianity convinced me that Jesus was not only real, but that he is God.
Until that point, I was an agnostic coming around to the idea that God is real. Before that, I was a full-fledged anti-Christian atheist. And way before that, I was a Greek Orthodox kid who hated church because I had to spend so much time standing up and listening to language I didn't understand. But at least the communion bread was awesome.
