0_0 ! I wanted to start this topic but then I taught screw it, nobody will answer.
When I was a kid, my mom told me that if you prayed hard enough, God would give you anything you wanted. So ritualistically, every morning and night I would pray. It would go something like this : "God, I want everyone in my family to be happy and healthy. I wanna do well in school. I'm an only child so I would love to have a little sister and God, I feel like there's something really wrong with me, please change me."
At some point, when I was 11/12 I realised that nothing was changing and I was still an only child. At that point, I pretty much understood what "was wrong with me" and I simply stopped praying one day.
That being the trigger. Now I know that nothing I would've done could've changed any of those things. But this just allowed me to think about religion on my own during adolescence without believing what my parents were telling me.
