I often wonder what it must have been like to have been a Roman pagan when Constantinople came to power. Their entire universe revolved around pagan worship, and for the emperor to suddenly announce that it was all false and everything needed to be relearned from scratch...
What is it like to convert from paganism to Christianity?
I think that is what is going to happen to people who are soaked in modern culture. Our culture is not at all dissimilar from paganism, except we have different words for the same ideas. We still worship the workmanship of our own hands, but we call it "Science!"
There are many Christian converts who can tell you what it is like. I am a lifetime Christian so I cannot appreciate it, but those who were something else and then became Christians have very interesting stories to tell.

As one such I confirm your observation.
It’s simply MIRACULOUS!!!
