re: #352 HappyWarrior

It’s hard to think of a single moment that did it for me but I remember learning about the Scopes Trial and it horrified me that Scopes was put on trial for teaching Darwin’s theories and I knew a lot of devout Catholics who were honest to God bigots to anyone not a devout Catholic. I know their parents looked down on mine for not raising my brothers and I in a strict Catholic fashion. My Dad’s own parents sort of started the exodus if you will. They had six children and did not like being told they could not use birth control. So as a result, my dad the youngest became the only sibling not to graduate a Catholic high school.

I had one cousin go after another (brothers) on Facebook when the daughter of the younger one posted that she’s an atheist.
