Hey! I may be grumpy, and bitter, and lash out at children, and trick people into neglecting God's Word but... What was that other thing you said? (slrpnk.net)

I was WAY more grumpy as a believer. Whoever wrote this probably pisses off all the atheists around them because they don't know how to treat them.

Right? I basically gained 1.5 days per week that had been previously ripped from me.

As a former catholic, I still can't wrap my head around a whole day of worship followed by an all-evening "bible study" later in the week. I distinctly recall priests getting to the point, singing a few songs, reading some stuff, knocking out a few weekly rituals, feeding the entire congregation, all in under 45 minutes^1^. I can't fathom what another 18+ hours of weekly religiosity would even contain.

  1. Hey padre, can we speed this up? There's a game on right now and that parking lot is a nightmare.

Yeah it was awful.

We were always taught that people with that attitude were "lukewarm Christians," and that god would "spew you out of his mouth" (yes, that's literally in the Bible).

Also, whether or not Catholics were even "Christian" by our definition, would get you different answers depending who you asked. Many viewed the concept of praying to a saint, or the virgin Mary, to be directly in conflict with the idea of monotheism (but the Trinity is different, because...?)

While ignorance is bliss, and I'm sure it feels nice to believe in something more, I'm glad to be free of that madness.
