I am impressed, then. I had only the faintest notion of God, other than what I had been told in Sunday school, and had no idea of spirituality. About as much as I knew was that I liked Lassie and throwing rocks at the street sign near my house in a nowhere little town in Maine. When we moved to the city (by Maine standards) halfway through my first grade year I started becoming a bit more aware. But church was just where my parents took me on Sundays and I did not have any more profound thoughts about it until probably the early teens. So my hat is off to you and Victor ;-)
