Christianity is still embraced by many educated, thinking people even in modern times in essentially the same terms as it was nearly 2000 years ago. Jeff's story, that he approached the subject from an unbelieving mindset and was persuaded not by fanaticism but by evidence (I will venture a guess that evidence includes both historical and phenomenological elements), is far from unique. The same is not true of Ra or Zeus.
Interesting to hear you mention this in passing, Jeff. Even if you would rather do it on another blog, I would love to see or hear your "Who Moved The Stone?" type journey.
