Is there a point in 4th or 5th or 6th grade where a kid decides to change course and become a slacker ?
Growing up in a household suffused with the 'slacker' scripture cherry picking take on christianity probably doesn't inspire that break thru moment for a kid to go, "Yes, slacker christianity is for ME!!"
Rather, the kid, if lucky might grow bored with the tepid and feeble religious zeal (s)he sees at home and might take to educating themself about other religions and even no religion.
And then we might find, they are primed for that "AHA!!! moment" when they realize not only is it impossible for all the different religions to be right, it might actually be possible that NONE are.
And then they start posting here . . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
