A Chinese American's search for truth in a meaningless world. Atheists often say “You were born a Christian, so how can you judge whether it’s true?” But what they do not realize is that they, too, were born into atheism.
Awesome to read your story about leaving the atheist faith. It seems like Chinese people are in a better position to accept Christianity than much of the West is. Chinese people seem to be humble while the west has the issue of “me, me, me” where the individual has become their idol.
Good writing. I resonated with a lot of your own personal story despite coming from a completely different ethnic and socioreligious background. Can't wait for part 2!
I also cannot wait for you to dive more deeply into eastern philosophy and classical works, as I've had my fill of the Western classics.
I had a similar intellectual journey to Orthodoxy. You articulate the disillusionment with secular humanism really well. Thanks for this post and that meme that I've been seeing on 4chan for years.
> Materialist atheists would say “we’re all just a bundle of chemicals” and yet continue to love their families in all seriousness and without a hint of irony. They say things like “money is just a social construct” and yet get infuriated when you steal from them.
There's no contradiction tho. You can both love your family and acknowledge the facts of science... Or acknowledge the origin of money and still find the useful and meaningful.

Thank you for writing this! I really enjoyed reading your personal and philosophical journey to the church. Let’s hang in NY soon!
