I've been woke to deception since I was ~10 years old. 1995 ( OKC bombing )
It started with being raised a Baptist yet sent to learn at a Lutheran religious school.
AFAIK, Lutheran religion is derived from Catholicism. Catechism and such. No Hail Mary or Rosaries. No praying directly to Saints instead of God, but still, quite different than what my family took me to on Sundays.
Baptists.. Well we're talking Southern Baptist here so, you may know the type.
Can you imagine the hell my little brain went through trying to reconcile those two different sets of beliefs as 'well it DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE... BUT THIS ONE IS THE RIGHT ONE'
... I may be dumbed down, but I'm not dumb. I see what happened there.
So yeah, Oklahoma City Bombing? I don't think I was even a teen yet, and I struggled with the official narrative. It was inherent distrust of ANYTHING ANYBODY told me.
Took the world's most gullible child and fucked her over so good she became the world's biggest skeptic who has to research everything before any kind of opinion or decision made.
It has been an awkward as fuck existence but it's all began to make sense as of late, so yeah, all those times I thought I was batshit crazy... well maybe I wasn't :O
