And people can't figure out why so many are leaving organized religion?

'In the name of Jesus I murder the Native people'
'In the name of Jesus I hate you for being gay'
'In the name of Jesus I am Mike Pence and Donald Trump will lead us to the holy land'

oh... well if Santa is involved then I guess we've got to trust him. Into the fire with us all, Jesus said!

She apologized right after it but those damn evangelicals must have their way or damn it, they force it.

I get so sick of being the only side that takes the high road.

Bill Maher and I agree with you and I am fairly certain Al Franken does too.

After watching that my creativity went into high gear and I decided that when I get the communion wafers I ordered in the mail/on line last week (they arrive on March 22 in time to serve with guacamole and salsa before Easter dinner at my sister's house...we are all atheists and it is a joke...we are NOT afraid of burning in Hell) I am going to draw Pence's face on them. I have edible food markers and since his hair is already white it shouldn't use too much of the edible ink which is expensive.

I ordered a bucket a few years ago and they were as yummy as I remembered. My mom sent my sister and me to CCD and we went through the whole Communion, etc stuff and confession and Ash Wed mark on your face but not church every Sunday. One day a priest came to our door while my parents were at work and he was asking for money. We were just kids. He shamed us by whipping out some booklet with a printed list of all the church members and how much they paid. By this time we already had decided to forget organized religion. I used to have to make up sins I committed to give the priest something to listen to for confession. My mom asked us if we wanted to go to CCD when I was 10 and I said, "Hell no, I want to sleep late on Sat mornings". After that no more church, CCD, confession, etc. The only thing I missed was the taste of communion wafers. They are tasty. When I found out a few years ago that you can buy them I did! As I grew older I began to notice that whenever I asked my friends if they were religious 99% said, "No. I WAS a Catholic and now I am an atheist". I think the Catholic church must make more atheists from former Catholics than any other religious group.
