Yeah, as a matter of fact, it did. I mentioned it several times already. When I was about 7, some priest told us, if we sin, god would take what's dearest to us. I spent sleepless nights over that, worrying for my parents and brother. But it also was my starting point towards atheism. Although that start was rather mild in coming to the conclusion that god couldn't be such a sordid bastard.
