    As I'm not an Anglican anyone could understand that I wasn't suggesting these places house practise of the One True Path, such as it is. However, their beauty has value.

    I actually have more respect for little, "ugly" churches that use their meager funds towards actually useful ends. Big fancy churches and chic stage props (the American equivalent) seem like gross misemphases to me. Christians are supposed to be about the world to come, not stained glass windows.

    Me too sort of.. Till the earlier 20s all along from the teenage years I was agnostic.

    Then (you will laugh at me and find me crazy) I had a conversion as I went to a sanctuary.. From there the Christian values entered in me.. And this Saint is somewhat near me in my life. I had 2 manifestation of him.. The last o e was a visible manifestation.
    And he s near to my mother too

    When I will marry I will include him in a special pray during my cerimony to protect me and my husband

    How can an atheist convert to Christianity.
    I mean how someone who understood the ridiculousness of the god concept before can turn to an Abrahamic religion. Please explain
