Shutup! I was raised as a Catholic and saw a ton of hypocrisy, all for the sake of looking "religious".

Same story we always hear from people that were obviously poorly learned Catholics.

"Where I grew up everyone worshipped and kissed the feet of statues and did voodooo rituals and gave them Rum and sacrificed chickens to them!"

"Where I grew up, we were taught the priest was God and we never questioned him or even looked him in the eye."

"Where I grew up, my parish organized Bible burning bonfire rallies so that everyone would be kept blind to the Scriptures."

Hysterical stuff like that.

My God, you couldn't even talk when walking down the hallways of an empty school or church!

Any reason you had to take the Lord's name in vain? Did you learn that too from your hypocritical parish?

It was like being in a tomb and the ton of expectations, rules, etc., was crushing.

Sorry you couldn't carry your boom box with you through the Church. I know, it must have been like totally crushing.

Not once did I ever hear that what mattered most was having a *personal relationship with God*.

Because we don't talk like mushy Protestants.

One of my parents who puts on the Great Show STILL doesn't know what that means!

Because she's not a mushy Protestant, probably.

My aunt, who is a nun, does somewhat but still has to put on her show, too.

Yeah, what a loser, giving up a "normal" life for the greater calling of serving God. I'm sure she could learn a thing or two from you, like how to take the Lord's name in vain.

However, her fellow nun DOES get it big time and there isn't an ounce of pretentiousness in her. So you can take all those petty Grace-killing rules and stuff them!

Wow, now that's what I call a Christian witness!!! Yeah, screw the Church!
