Glad you got out too. Well done! And thanks. It's always nice to know one is not alone. I wish you all the joy and happiness we were both promised.

2023-09-22 04:54:37 +0000 UTCI remember being Catholic and hearing criticism of Mother Theresa and thinking, "Well, something is better than nothing." It was only years later when they waived the rules surrounding canonization that I found myself saying, "Hang on. These are the rules or they're not. I don't get a pass on murder for any reason. Why does she get a pass on when she can be a saint?" That, among other issues I had with church dogma, led to more questions, which led to learning how much cash she raked in and where it wasn't going. Today I'm an atheist. If there is a god that condones, let alone celebrates, this woman's work, I believe I would choose not to worship them on basic principles. Thanks for this excellent distillation of the issues involved. This is a better summary than anything I could produce as a recovering Catholic. It's nice to have it all distilled into the most important elements. Fun fact: Malcom Muggeridge, the "divine light" asshole, was one of two church representatives who debated Michael Palin and John Cleese on TV program "Friday Night, Saturday Morning" when "The Life of Brian" came out and created controversy among groups of people who hadn't seen it. The debate is well worth watching and you can find multiple uploads of it on YouTube if you run a search.
