        What was the process of coming to faith like for you? The transition from atheist to believer is difficult for me to imagine so I'd love to hear how it happened for you.

          Well, it was not that hard for me actually. The first few months I had a crisis of faith almost weekly, as I was trying to come to terms with Christianity, but after several hundreds of google searches, I had finally figured everything out. It was actually not as bad as it sounds, and it was, all in all, a learning experience.

            But like, internally, what drove you to it? Why were you pursuing a spiritual answer in the first place, and why settle on Christianity?

              I was scared shitless of death. That's why made me interested in spirituality. And I settled on Christianity because of three reasons:

              1. Living in Latin America, Christianity is all around me, with almost no other religions around.
              2. Christianity is less strict than other religions, like Islam or Judaism (which I believe are also compatible with Socialism)
              3. I got curious. And that curiosity led me to read the Gospel According to St. Matthew. And believe me, some of the verses in there are VERY socialist.

                I've seen you mention in a few other comments that you're non-denominational, which is interesting in someplace where Catholicism is so dominant. Do you think you'll remain unaffiliated, or do you see yourself as on the path to deciding what type of Christianity resonates with you the most?
