[QUOTE="Kanwaljit.Singh, post: 143810, member: 14616"] [COLOR=blue]I think the best moment is post adulthood when someone reconnects to religion (or connects to a religion for first time). It is at that time they have questions and they need good answers. And if they stick, that means they are getting the right answers. People following a religion they were born into is just like living in their parent's house. They have not made the house brick by brick like parents.
