At what age did you stop praying to Father Christmas
#13
RE: At what age did you stop praying to Father Christmas
I don't ever really remember praying and meaning it. Not even when I was really young and going through the motions. I always remember feeling a bit like "am I the only one who thinks this is a bit kooky?" looking out the side of my face from the start.

I told my parents I am an atheist via email when I was a plebe at the Naval Academy. I'm still a little ashamed about that...

I never, as a person old enough to think for himself, believed in God. I don't know how I escaped my childhood with that, looking back on it. But whatever happened, I am happy it did.
