Okay, sure. Yeah, so it was when I was 11 that I decided to do what I'm doing now, which is... looking at religion, but most specifically then, I wanted to read the Bible, which I did. So I had an experience. So in my upbringing, my parents were secular, right, Christian, right? So that means that we didn't have a Bible in the house. We celebrated Christmas, you know, and that type of thing.

So I had never read it. I And I didn't actually know the story of Jesus. I knew, of course, Jesus Christ. Everybody does. But I actually didn't know the story. So it was on an Easter.
