Singer Bob Dylan once told the Wall Street Journal: <\/em>\u201cI never watch anything foul smelling or evil. Nothing disgusting; nothing dog a\u2013. I\u2019m a religious person. I read the scriptures a lot, meditate and pray, light candles in church. I believe in damnation and salvation, as well as predestination. The Five Books of Moses, Pauline Epistles, Invocation of the Saints, all of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Footnote: Singer Bob Dylan once told the Wall Street Journal: \u201cI never watch anything foul smelling or evil.

He picked it up and kept it. Two days later, in a hotel room in Tucson, Arizona, he experienced a transformative spiritual experience, during which he says he felt Christ visit him and physically place his hand on him. It kick-started a deeply serious conversion to Christianity. Dylan began attending Vineyard, a large evangelical church in Los Angeles that placed a strong emphasis on the end times.\u2019<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
