Arguing with my grandmother about abortion. I was a hard-core 'pro-lifer' and she was quite a bit more liberal. One day I realized that I was getting two completely different 'stories' and someone was wrong. After doing a bit of research on that, I found myself changing my mind on the subject - and realizing that if all those preachers, teachers, and such were wrong about that (or outright lying), they might just be wrong about a lot of other things. It took nearly five years, but there came a day when I realized I was an atheist.
