I've never heard of the slogan Jim Carroll attributes to the Christian Brothers, "Give me a child of five and I will give you a believer for life."

I AM familiar with a Jesuit slogan that is very similar, "Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man." I assumed that meant that the first seven years of life are formative, and have a strong effect on who we are as adults.


And on another note, how do I become a Pastafarian? Make mine tortellini, please.
