It's... complicated. I have mixed feelings. Sometimes I think I have glimmers of memories, but honestly, I also think the brain is pretty creative. That doesn't explain three year olds who've accurately described a war zone, although even then I've wondered how many just saw a scary movie. (The parents will say "we don't let Johnny watch movies with guns", but how do you know a sitter or older sibling didn't? Or that Johnny didn't slip downstairs one night when Mommy and Daddy were asleep?


Having said that, the concept itself makes sense to me. I've always thought I was very religious, but rebellious at the same time. It's interesting. As a kid I was almost too much of a goody two-shoes, and out of nowhere I started thinking I "had" to go to church. (My parents are not churchgoing types, although they're also the sort who were fine with my choice to do so.)

I also swear I remember my Mom telling me Bible stories, but she denies it and my Dad can't remember her ever being religious. So that's creepy.

That reminds me of the first big discussion I ever had with my dad about religion, when I was a teenager. He told me was an atheist. Shortly after that he denied he'd ever said it and he's been denying it for the decade+ since. He sometimes claims he's agnostic and sometimes says he definitely believes in a god, and constantly goes back and forth between the two, but he vehemently denies EVER telling me he was an atheist, but I know for a fact it happened.

Buuut there's a ton of stuff he's said to me, and my mom, that he's totally denied ever saying, and we both know he did. So I don't know if he just has memory issues or something or just likes lying. Either way it's annoying.

Eh, it could be something in between. Lots of people have selective memory when it comes to their own history, and the tendency to retcon things the way they'd prefer to have them remembered. After a time, the manufactured memory feels just as real as the facts.
