Here's a question, and an honest one (I'm not trying to make fun, I'm just genuinely curious, since I didn't have that hyper-religious experience as a kid). When you come from a background where the Word is all, then you discover that there is so much more to life, do you kind of feel like your whole life has been a lie? Or like you've not really been living in the world, to some extent? It seems a bit like a very grand Santa Clause to me, but Santa is the only qualitatively similar thing I can think of fro my life. Did you have an 'ah ha!' moment, or did you gradually move away from your upbringing?
