@Y_didy_7 grew up a protestant (visited every single excellent protestant theology, from pentecostalism to calvinism to presbyterianism to lutheranism, reading their most excellent theologians) and even been an atheistic existentialist for 2 yrs - now becoming orthodox (getting catechized)

@byzantiumqueen twitter is not the place to confess. in fact it's one of the places you better get yourself away from in your times of weakness and approach your father or your local church one way or the other.

@superxtianmario I was an atheist for several months but the meaninglessness of it was so suffocating. Then took a step forward into Existentialism and read many of their know writings. They helped me think in a rather authentic way especially Dostoevsky and Sartre.

this weekend's read will be *the consolation of philosophy* for the third time. both last reads i didn't finish: the first one, i was young, restless, and reformed; the second one, i was just busy and lost the mood. this time, i wanted it to be my follow-up read to bonaventure.
