“You’re reaching now, Vlad ! I know you find it hard to believe one of your perfect catholic church’s did not encourage Bible reading, but it’s true !”

No. First of all, it wouldn’t be a “catholic church’s” but a “parish’s”. There are only about 22 Catholic Churches in the world. You’re not talking about any one of them. You’re talking about ONE parish in one of those churches. Again, are you sure you were Catholic? If the term “parish” is unfamiliar to you...

“My claim that they didn’t encourage Bible reading still stands.”

Stands on what? Again, you admitted you looked at the ceiling and your watch. Who knows what they encouraged you to do but you were too busy NOT PAYING ATTENTION to notice.

“Hey, I was there, you weren’t. You don’t have to believe it.”

You WERE NO THERE in spirit. You already admitted to staring at the ceiling and your watch. Again, how do you even know what was taught when you already admitted you didn’t pay attention? Again, it reminds me of this:

“You see,” she said, “I was born Catholic. I attended Mass every week, received the Sacraments and graduated from a Catholic school. Not once did I ever hear the gospel proclaimed. Not once! It was after the birth of my first child that a good friend of mine shared the gospel with me and I accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior and became a Christian. Now I belong to a Bible-believing church and I’m sharing the gospel with whomever will listen.” http://socrates58.blogspot.com/2006/01/how-do-catholics-hear-gospel-gary.html

“It could have been, but it wasn’t at my school.”

Maybe not, but you had no curiosity in any case. Ceiling. Watch.

“Three times is one thing, but we’re talking thousands of times, even millions.”

So? Jews say the same Psalms every day. The saints and angels in heaven repeat the same prayers FOR EVER. “Without stopping day or night they were saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is coming.”” (Rev. 4:8) I guess you better tell God to put a stop to that stuff right away, huh?

“Jesus spoke to the father a lot, but didn’t repeat himself thousands of times.”

Yes, He did. Every day, Jesus prayed the prayers that all Jews at the time prayed. That means He repeated Himself thousands and thousands of times.

“Don’t know, I wasn’t there.”

You were in a temple of the Lord for Christians...but you were too busy looking at the ceiling and your watch.

“You haven’t been paying attention, I was never disinterested in my life, just the mass.”

Which - if you really went every week and occasionally for school - was a part of your life. Ceiling. Watch.

“I never said that.”

Ceiling. Watch.

“You may find the mass riveting, but I didn’t.”

Ceiling. Watch.

“I doubt it.”

Ceiling. Watch.
