In your youth you were indoctrinated (as you call it) as a Christian, but you managed to rise above it.

How arrogant of you it is to claim that others could not rise above the accident of their birth to embrace a greater truth, when somehow you managed to rise above your childhood to indulge in a delusion.

Where did you get your monopoly on wisdom (so-called)?

I did not suggest that others cannot and do not manage to overcome the religious indoctrination of their youth, On they contrary. I stated quite clearly that there are certainly exceptions.

My point was simply that the religious indoctrintation of one's youth, overwhelmingly determines the religious faith of one's adulthood.

This simple truth sure seems to make some people uneasy.

Very peculiar.
