Well I was raised a Muslim , was an atheistagnostic for a few years , became protestant Christian , and now I am Catholic . I did have a religious experience with the Eucharist that aided my transition to Catholicism but I was considering it well before then . For me , it was faith and reason working together . When I first heard the story of the prodigal son and the gospel , that made sense to me but I also had to make the leap of faith to actually follow it . And when I reasonably looked deeper into Christianity , that led me to Catholicism . <| sep |> Some people have not only really strong mental issues , but also weak immune systems . <| sep |> ah you ' re right , I had alarm set for 2 am est <| sep |> Only a bowl ? Sounds like a Hearthstone player to me .
