re: #266 wrenchwench

The first clue I had that all this shit was too weird for me (way before I was an atheist) was when my mom’s older brothers family (which was well on its way to 10 kids) specified on their Christmas card that they were ROMAN Catholic.

For me, I remember at an early age thinking there was just some weird stuff about the Bible. I mean whatever gets one through the night but it wasn’t for me from an early age and I know my family while nominally Catholic was resented by some of the more conservative Catholic families in the neighborhood because I only had one brother (my second brother was born much later) and we of course were public school kids. The judgemental bs just turned me off.
