He is an idiot and a fanatic and wouldn't make any better president than trumper.

In the Roman Catholic Church we had CCD. That is the: "Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) an association established in Rome in 1562 for the purpose of giving religious education. Its modern usage is a religious education program of the Roman Catholic Church, normally designed for children. In some Churches, CCD is called PSR, meaning Parish School of Religion.".

I cannot tell you how batshit crazy most of those teachings were?

I finally left CCD when I went home from a class and told my Mum that the teacher - a woman in her own home - was telling us about being visited by a "spirit of fire" and "speaking in tongues" - that would have been a Pentacostal belief in the late 1970s.... and my Mom went "You're done!".

By then I'd undergone those wonderful rites of passage of First Communion - (Baptism of course - before I could talk) and Confirmation. Which I underwent completely against my will knowing how my parents would feel if I told them what I thought of the Church and their practices.
However kissing the Bishop's ring? Was NOT in the cards. (I can't believe I had classmates who did that?). Sigh.

I'd be so happy if religion became the sole practice of ADULTS tomorrow - I can't tell you?

No more sexual abuse of kids handed over to people you shouldn't be trusting in the first place.
No more false belief systems.

You want to get crazy - do it when you are an adult and can make the choice.

Bunch of Fecking... walks off muttering....

I haven't heard about this. I take it this was in reference to the Christian "education" of children, in which case indoctrination is a much better term. Theists like Pence know that if they don't indoctrinate children, they'll lose followers and what power it gives religious leaders. This is the aspect of religion that bothers me most. I consider it abuse, and a violation of basic human rights.

Why are you so anti-christian? Yeah Christians are wrong about creation, but the Christians that ive known are the best people that ive encountered in life, cut them some slack.

On target as always my dear friend.
