For me it started as a kid when they told me Santa wasn't real. Then the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Leprechauns, etc. When I was about 10 I asked my dad why parents tell kids stories like that and he said it is a way to get kids to behave. That led pretty quickly to God and the church.
My father told me to not only question what people are telling you but why they're telling you.

My father told me to not only question what people are telling you but ***why*** they're telling you.
