At what age did you realize your current religious beliefs?

Not sure exactly, but then who could possibly define the exact age at which they become able to think logically and rationally?

More often than not, one's religious beliefs transform somewhat over time. I am interested in hearing about the age forumers came to realize the beliefs they currently hold. Nothing about these beliefs, of course, is obligated to be in any way logical or rational. Hell, I'm not even sure if my own beliefs are logical or rational.

Ok, but any supposition that doesn't abide by the simple rules of logic and rationality is inherently counter-intuitive.

But to answer your question, I have no idea.  But then I also have no idea when I came to the conclusion that a jolly fat man who delivers gifts to millions of children all over the world in a single night by way of flying reindeer couldn't possibly exist either.

Assuming any set of beliefs were rooted in logic and rationality rather than what we call faith, wouldn't that make a belief set, rather, a fact? If that were the case, those who held different beliefs from us would be seen as people who are living in denial. Or I'm just wrong, lol.

No, you're absolutely right.  If a belief is grounded in logic and rationality, then chances are it is also fact.  If a conflicting belief is not based as such, then that believer is most likely living in denial.  This tends to be the case with people of 'faith'; a concept I have never seen any validity in.
