Editing Nico's Youth Group Years (section)

=== The Germanwings Crash and Conspiracy Theories (2015) ===
On March 24, 2015, co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed a Germanwings Airbus A320 into the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board. Nico, then twelve years old, became fascinated by the case and began researching it obsessively. During this research, he stumbled upon a YouTube channel called "Trau keinem Promi" (Don't Trust Any Celebrity), which claimed that German rapper Haftbefehl had predicted the crash in his lyrics. Though initially dismissive, Nico found himself drawn into the channel's content.

What began as curiosity evolved into an intense engagement with conspiracy theories: Jeffrey Epstein, Pizzagate, secret societies, satanic rituals in elite circles. The more he consumed, the more a realization formed: if so much genuine evil existed in the world—people who actually worshipped the devil—then perhaps the devil was real. And if the devil was real, God must be too. After going down these rabbit holes for years - at around, or just shortly before 16 years of age, the convinced atheist had reasoned his way to theism—not through religious experience or upbringing, but through contemplating the existence of evil.
