There's nothing wrong with maturing out of stupid thoughts. There's also the possibility that as you grow older, you read more intelligent things that would have bored you as a kid. I used to be a liberal pseudo-atheist... now I'm a conservative bordering on fundamentalist Christian. I shouldn't even say that I'm bordering on being a fundamentalist Christian ... because my beliefs are completely Fundamentalist Christian (well, in so far as Catholicism can be fundamentalist Christian), but I just don't put them into practice as I should.
