As I've said in a bunch of other threads about our personal histories, I was kind of just super bland lapsed Catholic by association for most of my young adult and adult life, and never really questioned much of it. It wasn't hammered into me much after I turned 8 or so, I just thought it was the default to believe in God and Jesus and the Bible. My first question was really when I was confronted in college by some people who were totally unafraid to say they didn't believe any of it, and I simply asked myself, "Wait...why do I believe this stuff?"
