Arrow When did you decide?

When did you decide there was a God/gods, or none at all? What made you come to that conclusion: was it an ongoing process, something you've always known, or was there a specific moment that made up your mind?

I can't remember a time I did not speak with my invisible friend. I have to say that now I am a little more reverent when conducting my side of the conversation than I was as a child, and my understanding has developed, but I always had a sense of that which is unseen.

I can't actually remember being taught to believe in God. For as far back as I can remember, I knew He was there.

I started as soon as I questioned why we attach meaning to things and people.

As far as I can recall, I have always been either agnostic or indifferent to deity, except for a brief one month fling during middle school with Christianity.

The fling taught me Christianity is not my path to reconciliation with the Ultimate Klutziness, although it also taught me how emotionally powerful and existentially profound is the injunction to love our neighbors as oursleves.

What exactly about this fling taught you that you were indifferent to the Abrahamaic God?
