Does anyone remember their early experiences with religion?

[Diana]

I remember all of my early experiences with religion, at least, in general, as I was very young. I didn't have any epiphanies, rather, I analyzed the content of what they were saying intellectually, but at the same time, I was seeking out that which was beyond every-day life.

For example, when I was 4-5 years old, I found a young couple in the trailer park we lived in who were religious (some form of Christian), and I would drag my 2-3-year-old brother with me so we could pray with them. My parents didn't know them, and this was a habit of mine growing up, just finding people on my own to visit. On the other hand, when we moved to a town when I was maybe 7, where there were 3 churches within walking distance, I went to all 3 on my own. That is where I would, in my head, analyze what was being taught whether in the regular service or Sunday school.

So at that young age, I liked the nonphysical aspects (praying, getting in touch with something "beyond") but came to the conclusion that the dogma made little sense.
