After a 10 year catholic ‘education’ (read indoctrination), I made the decision to become an atheist at 14 years of age, when they tried telling me the pope’s word was inviolate, that he spoke the true word of ‘god’. I can remember thinking: “What a load of bullshit!” Thirty four years later, I’m still confident I made the right decision ?

Hey, just sitting here smoking a bowl and since you had to live that shit I'm wondering if you could describe what it like to drag that cross all the time. I've always been Athiest and I have nothing to reference. Just wondering.

To be honest, I only ‘lived’ it for a couple of years... my parents were religious but not ‘practicing’ and only sent me to a religious secondary school for ‘the education’... initially I was intrigued by the community feel of a religion (which I’d never experienced before) but it didn’t take me long before I noticed the cracks appearing. When you look at ANY religion logically, it just doesn’t make sense. Anyway, long story short, I saw through the bullshit fairly quickly and got the hell out, haha...
Isn't it funny that the word of god can be changed over the years. Saturday mass, meat to be eaten on Friday, divorce by decree. These all were so enforced when I was young and caused many problems. I wonder when god whispered to make the changes.I think it was when attendance was dropping.
