Conversation with my 4 year old son, a few minutes ago:
Him: I need to read my bible book
Me: Your what?
Him: My bible book.
Me: Who got you a bible book?
Him: It is a bible book for kids.
Me: Why do you need to read it?
Him: So I can learn about god.
Me: Who is telling you about god?
Him: Gramma. I need to learn about god so I know it.
Grrrr.
She knows this will piss me off, too.

I had to learn it myself from Robert Heinlein when I was about six.

No such luck. For the already programmed, it's never too early to start programming others.
I got a buddy I went to college w\, used to go drinking w\ a couple times a week -- he can't go more than 5 - 10 minutes w\o mentioning god in some way, shape, or form. Drinking time has gone down considerably.
