Needless to say. It seemed weirder than ever. Almost like if you weren't brain washed from a young age you would be like wtf is this shit. I occasionally went to church as a youngin. So i am not a total outsider. But as a grown man sitting through that stuff i was embarassed for all the adults involved
As I have said before I am a product of the Catholic School system. 1-12 plus a Catholic College. Altar boy, youth group, as involved as anyone who wasn't going to become a priest could be.
I still love the pomp and circumstance when the mass goes all out with the incense and singing and props....it's the way I was raised.
But I also started questioning when I got to college and didn't have religion classes force fed to me every day.
I still even go to church occasionally. I am a lector at our church.
My problem is and will always be with the physical church and the men who created the rules and continue to lead it astray, IMHO.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
