I really don't care because it's none of my business. There are only really a few reasons I identify as Catholic:
1. I've already been baptised and have had my 1st communion
2. The Church supports the theory of evolution and that extraterrestrials could possible exist (if I were to express belief in either of those and I were a member of the numerous Baptist churches in my area I would get lynched)
3. I won't be branded a heathen sinner if I don't go to church
4. As long as you don't screw up too badly no one bothers you

Baptism for me was when I was a baby. Besides, I dont think baptism has any effect. Original sin? What is that crap. and communion to me was a requirement to graduate second grade. Confirmation to me was just what you do to pass 4th grade. All the sacraments to me were meaningless. Whenever I get married someday I dont want it in a church.

Im against the church more for the fact my whole life its been trying to psh its opinions on me. Catholic schools sucked. Going to a public high school kicked ass, and college is even better.

I dont really talk religion with anyone. If people want to believe one thing, im cool with it. I just hate people who try to shove their beliefs on you. I never make fun of anyone for their religion and respect their beliefs as long as they respect mine. I jst want nothing to do with the church.

One of my buddies is real pushy about his religion. Every Sunday he's like "dude, why don't you come to church with me" and every time I take him up on his offer I get really uncomfortable during the service. Probably because I'm not Protestant like him (church is a time for prayer and somberness, not electric guitars and over-enthusiasm to the point of creepiness)
