Yeah, sure I'll agree with that.
I was raised a Catholic. If there is a sure way to turn a person away from religion, it's has to be raise them Catholic.
When I was younger, I really truly believed in God, Jesus etc. -the whole shebang. Somehwhere in my teens I knew that the Catholic faith just wasn't for me, but I convinced myself there had to be something. The more I learned, the less I believed. And not just with the Catholic faith.
Letting go is a weird thing. I'm amazed at people who can be just like "nope, I don't believe anymore" just like that. For me it was a decade long process. First I did the born-again thing, then of course the pagan thing. But really all I think those were was my heart trying to fight what my mind already knew. Sorry folks, its just us. No big guy in the sky.
Some people think that is kind of sad and lonely. I personally think it is great. I'd rather do the right thing because it is the right theng rather than because there is some all-seeing parent figure wagging his finger at me. And because I believe all that we have is the time that we are here, it becomes more important to me to do the best with the time that I have.
Or at least spend a lot of time playing WoW. Speaking of which, there are a few horde awaiting my axe.
