The realization, when I was 20 and taking Roman History in college, that the bible story had enough holes in it to drive a truck through. I had already decided that catholicism was just a control mechanism run for the benefit of the priests but I never knew it was all based on a lie until then.
I never paid much attention to the OT until 2000 when I read The Bible Unearthed by Israel Finkelstein. With the understanding that the OT was bullshit, too, the circle was pretty much complete.
