Just curious

5. I had to get up early on Sat for CCD. That sucked.

Then a priest came door to door asking for money when my parents were at work. The jerk tried to shame my sister who was wearing a cross as a fashion statement. She took it off after that. Also, they used to publish and mail who gave how much to the local Catholic Church each month. I always had to make up sins to tell to the priest during confession since I didn't sin but you had to tell him something. My dad never went to church and my mom said that when we (my sister and myself) were 9 we could choose whether or not we wanted to go to church anymore. We said NO! We only went 3 times a year anyway. I was the only one in my neighborhood at the time who stopped going to church and was ridiculed for it. I even took an anti abortion stand on a paper I had to write in 7th grade to appease my peers. I am still pissed off at myself for that. My whole family (3 generations) is Atheist and we often put down religious hypocrites and Repubs at family dinners. I did buy communion wafers on line a few years ago because I remembered that they were the only good thing about going to church. They are tasty! I was going to serve them with dip at a party but I was told it could offend some people. I don't know why. I would have serve them with wine so what is the problem?
