If you are, can I ask you what drugs you're taking? “I had nuns for a half my subject and all of them were lovely”

Are you serious, Helen O’Shea?

If you are, can I ask you what drugs you’re taking?

My memory of early school was of my teacher reading a daily passage from the bible. It was always just stories to me and nothing else. I was hit with a rather strong back hand of shock around age 12 when it suddenly hit me "Hang on, people actually BELIEVE this stuff???" Consequently I have no conversion story. I have no answer when people ask me when I became a non believer. I was just always this way. I rather envy people the feeling of a moment of epiphany to be honest. Thanks for the memories!
