What Caused You to Become Religious?
Question
What caused you to become religious?
From what I understood, the Talmud is what caused you to become religious, but what did you read and understand that made you become religious and believe that there is a Creator of this world?
Answer
I don’t know what exactly “become religious” means. I’m indeed very impressed by the Talmud, but that has nothing to do with the Creator.
Discussion on Answer
There were periods when it was more of a sociological matter, and I didn’t really make myself account for whether I believed. There were periods when I doubted very deeply. I can’t point to one factor that changed the situation.
So I’ll rephrase the question: were you always a believing person? Or did something make you believe?
