Actually I think that story is boring and more importantly frightening. I could have spent my childhood actually learning pragmatic reality but instead wasted my time in fantasy. And society had sold me so much fear that it took me that long to escape it.
I think Ricky Gervais(sp) the comedian's story is much more exciting. Sitting there at the table reading the bible and his brother scoffs at what he is doing and his mother shushes him and Ricky says to himself "If my mom has something to hide then this must be bullshit". Less than an hour to go from believing to atheist.
