re: #147 HappyWarrior

We all must find our own spiritual path. Forced religion is no way to do that. I tried doing CCD at my Grandma’s request but I couldn’t do it. As much as s lot of Catholic principles appealed to me, I was and remain very confused about religion. I don’t see religion in itself as an evil, I’m non religious, I think it’s what man does to religion that can make it evil.

I don’t know how many people I heard from as a teenager (and even as a young adult) saying my atheism was simply a phase and I would just grow out of it.

I don’t ever recall that line being used against a religious person’s belief… .
