As a catholic child I have no bad memories (apart from literally shitting myself waiting for my first confession). As a teenager The whole Sunday mass thing just bored the !%* of me. This man doing all the talking had no clue about my life and all he was doing was threatening me with hell. So I started to piss off over the fields for an hour of a Sunday morning. When I turned 18 I attended mass in my local pub with the rest of my brothers. I came to realise that most if not all organised religion is based on fear, and thought !%* that I can do without this shite. Then the kiddy fiddling scandle broke and it was this that was the straw that broke the camels back. How can ANY god have allowed this to happen? How can any god have allowed the cover ups and lies? Any catholic who still allows the church to claim any moral authority over them are misguided, to say the least.
