Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

I, too, was raised Roman Catholic and at 3 years of age was put into a Catholic Orphanage. There I was beaten (still have a broken, never attended to tail bone where a nun kicked me). I recall asking my parents many questions about this guy called god and they never gave me any good answers, only made my mind more confused. Once I started educating myself about the church and its horrific history, the pope makes me want to puke. I totally agree religions are all bullshit....stories written by men to control people and make $. I feel like I have PTSD that partially robbed my childhood. Thanks for your post. I identify.
