  1. Trolling is not allowed. Troll behavior includes, but is not limited to repeatedly:
    • Making provocative posts.
    • Making posts that are unrelated / irrelevant to the thread or conversation subject.
    • Disrupting normal discussion.
    • Provoking specific members by referring to them negatively on your profile/signature.
So whats the hidden trolling rule I've broken. tell me and i'll adapt my behaviour politely. There's no need to point the finger at me and boot me off. you'll find I'm a reasonable human being.

You'll have to excuse my reluctance to believe you.  Here, preschool kids are 3-4 years old and I would imagine when not running around like maniacs on the playground are learning letters,  shapes, colors, and some early math concepts. While not impossible, I am, understandably, doubtful you were perusing children's encyclopedias and having an existential crisis/Religious epiphany. 

No disrespect intended.

I think I must have given you the wrong impression in my story. My dad leaving the church may have played a role and the encyclopedia wasn't exactly that advanced even for a 4 year old and It's more that once I had seen this encyclopedia I found bible stories boring. So rather than really question religion I just saw boring old stories vs interesting things like robots and rockets.
No offence taken perhaps I should have put the reasoning closer to my 4 year old self rather than my adult interpretation.
It's not just bible stories either I find fiction uninteresting. That doesn't mean I read that much when I was 4 just that I turn my way towards non fiction. I was quite lucky actually when I first started school my dyslexia spotted straight away and I was given good help, I was one of the top in the class for maths and science, languages not so much so illustrations played a role more but I was taught to read to some degree with bible stories.
I was no child genius sorry if I gave that impression.
I was a little more precocious than most as a child though.
My 7 year old nephew I personally think is the top in my family in terms of intelligence. He was using a kids tablet quite well at 2 and a half. I just spoke to him the other day and yes I was not that smart when I was his age.
