Obriecht was traveling when he stopped in Tennessee, and began meditating around 2 a.m. He suddenly felt a warmth and peace come over him. He said that Jesus came into his life at that moment.
I can't help but imagine that this guy was rasied as a christian, didn't really think about religion too much, then reinterpreted the last 10-15 years of his life as "atheist".
Would explain why it apparently took so little to 'convert' him...
