conversion experience
A conversion experience is the final gambit to make a once-bored soul glance back at faith. Its chief utility lies in justifying one’s past deeds while furnishing everyone else with sermon fodder. Accompanied by dramatic lighting and ethereal soundtracks, the participant leaps into the starring role. Actual transformation often lasts only a moment, replaced by a fresh mania the next week. In short, a conversion experience is nothing more than a theatrical self-satisfaction machine that thrives on encore performances.
