Wow, I'm having a hard enough time with the first throw-away line (of a book destined to be nothing but lines which ought to be thrown away) - We stay mostly the same and then grow up suddenly, at the turning points.- Bull Fucking Shit We Do.
Though this explains so much of the mindset. The religion of being a douche your whole life then saying a prayer and getting it reversed. The belief in magic and ritual in general, that narrative can create reality, because nothing is actually real except those important, lightning-strike rare moments when it is (one assumes those moments when they decide they did something right or good or IMPORTANT).
It also explains how they think you can catch the Gay.
Hm.
Anyway, be wary; it's a dark land into which you travel.
