Donnarose,

Though it's not really the "arts," I took a astronomy course in college, taught by an atheist woman. Every time I learned something new about our amazing universe, it simply re-affirmed my faith in a God of wonders and beauty.

A somewhat similar experience happened to me. Anyone read \"Godel, Escher, Bach: The Eternal Golden Braid?\" I hadn\'t even converted yet when I read it -- I was seriously considering Orthodoxy, but, as I came from a secular background (I had been an agnostic for some time, I was struggling with the big \"bump\" between the God of the philosophers (namely Plato) and the God of Judeo-Christian belief -- but there was something about it that touched my core.

Be the first person to like this.
