How old were you when you realized that Christ Jesus of Nazareth is the greatest philosopher?

He never existed. He's just the culmination of ancient gods and stoic men.

I believed in God since being little. I distinctly remember being very young and lost at a giant skiing hill out of anxiety at me being lost and not having my adult faculties developed enough to know everything would be alright, I fell to my knees clenched my arms and prayed to God that my family would find me. This was before I had any real concept of God, it was a spontaneous reaction. Many years later I believed God exists but this belief did not really play any active role in my life. I even had evidence of the Christian God existing through a family friend who had the prophetic gift, telling me things nobody could have known including telling my mother about her fathers health accurately and other things I wont go into which are even more personal. So I was lucky enough to have concrete evidence of it but I still took it all in a very passive way. Until one day after yet another disgusting 4chan type of fap session i browsed wikipedia out of boredom, somehow accidentally I clicked on one of Pauline epistles and probably had the strongest emotional experience of my life after reading it. It somehow addressed me specially in that moment and even though i had later reread all of Paul'a texts I couldnt find which one it was. There were many other instances where I felt spiritually touched and I thank God for not abandoning me even though I abandoned Him many times in sin, it is all the more painful for me when I sin because I had a better knowledge of Him than others who do it out of ignorance. I only advise you to consider the Gospel without a cynical outlook from the start.
