I'll admit it.
Sometimes I'll go around pretending I don't belong to any church just so the 'Catholic' subject doesn't come up. And I've distanced myself from the church. It's been a couple of years since I've been to church other than Easter, Christmas, Ash Wednesday, and shit like that.
At least in my case, debates usually end up in arguements...seeing how only people who feel strongly about the subject (in a positive or negative way), are the ones willing to debate about it. And me? I'll be the first to admit, I get defensive and end up angering people or getting angry myself.
Nope, I can't take any heat.

When I was in highschool I used to have a Christian friend, who told me I was going to go to hell for not belonging to her church, and that it was her mission to save me.
<_< I laughed for about five minutes. Then I said exactly: "The only reason you want to save me is because you believe it's your mission to do so, not because you care about me and my well being. You only want to save my ass because it will save yours. If you truly believe all that you preach, you'd know that you have no right to tell anyone what you just said to me."
Needless to say, I still haven't spoken to her. It's been 6 years.
Anyway, my point was that my faith is mine and mine only (Even if I belonged in a satan cult). I can't (and don't need to) explain or justify my actions and beliefs when it comes to that matter. It's what I believe in, who the fuck cares?
LOL And yes...the memories...I attended a Catholic private school in Mexico, up until I moved to the US...um I was almost 14. And until then I had never felt so outcasted because of religion alone...it was worse than any racist comments or attitude I've ever gotten. So then I decided to explain to people about it, so they at least understood where I was coming from. And well, it sucked having to explain over and over why we believed what we believed in...finally I just kinda gave up.
So like many, many others around the world, I'm a half-ass Catholic.
