And people wonder why I don't believe in organised religion.
I seriously think it's responsible for fucking more people up than drugs and 4chan combined.

I dunno
My nana's catholic but she doesn't take every word seriously and she can laugh at the campness. I was allowed to go off my own way, but respected my older family members' belief in funny statues. In fact it's documented on here that I'm not religious but that St Jude is my homeboy.
Christenings and weddings are family gatherings I enjoy, while not fully participating.
It's when people put it before logic and kindness and health that it gets scary.

My mother was raised Catholic
and as a result has a pathological dislike/fear of nuns (she nearly shat it when she came to see me in Italy as there's a huge convent in Siena) so she raised me with no real religious leanings to speak of. I've seen the whole gamut of religious reactions, from diehard Scientologists to my nan, who is staunch Irish Catholic and am glad I'm not in any of it.

yeah, it's the diehard and the staunch you've got to watch
They're mean to kids.
People who just get on with it can do what they like.

As long as they don't insist I think the same way
people can do what they wish as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I hate having people's opinions forced on me in any context but especially religious!
