Some people realise it way before puberty, and of course at the time, living in an entirely fully evangelical Protestant world, had no real notion; actually one of the very few books we were allowed to read of course, was the bible, so I found myself reading bits of the bible at that age, and realising that it was all to do with love, and having a strong sense, even at that time, that if Christianity is true, then it can't be true in the way that I was perceiving it, because of the element of love. It was talking about love, and here was this love, so Christianity must be different from what it seemed.
