>Are you religious?
Yes, i’m an Orthodox Christian (ROCOR)
>How did you discover it?
At 16 I got back into Christianity but disliked the Protestant idea and disliked the Catholic Church for a variety of reasons.
>What are some books you'd recommend to someone interested in it?
From a fictional standpoint, anything by Dostoyevsky (Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and The Brothets Karamaziv spring to mind). From a non-fictional standpoint metropolitan Hilarions 4 volume “Orthodox Christianity” is a great start, as well as Kallistos Ware’s “Orthpdox Way”, “on the acquisition of The Holy Spirit” by Seraphim of Sarov is also amazing.
>why
Because I feel connected to 2000 years of Christian history, because it’s theology makes sense, because it’s tone is less about legalism and more about individual cases, because it’s Divine Liturgy is beautiful, too many reasons to count really.
