Would you have preferred I left out that second sentence? The parent seemed to be asking for help and that seemed to be on-topic. Though I suppose it could be inferred from the first sentence... but I think even the first sentence alone would have been likely to instigate the same response. Which then makes me wonder if it really is "ok to talk about [my] own experience" in an entirely on-topic discussion?

It's best not to proselytize on HN. It's ok to talk about your own experience of course, but when it starts to move into standard religious tropes, that's already a kind of flamebait and discussion quality plummets, and boy did that happen in this thread.
