Religion! Why do you insist on ruling our lives? I had this conversation last night:
“I’m Catholic. What are you?”
“Nothing, I’m not religious,” I said.
“What?”
“Well I was raised a Catholic but,”
“So you’re Catholic too.” She thought that was the end of the conversation.
“No, I’m not a Catholic, I was only raised a Catholic. I’m at least an atheist, if not an antitheist.”
“What? But you were baptized so you’re Catholic.”
“Not exactly, I didn’t choose to be baptized.”
“Well were you confirmed?”
“Yes, I was confirmed but we were told to either be confirmed or burn in hell. What would you expect?”1
