^ Yep I was raised up in a Private Catholic school up until 8th grade and had to wear a uniform and say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning before class started.. That was a good thing..

However, ramming Catholicism and all it's church rules and rituals down my throat daily for all those years was an absolute turn off and I rebelled. Became a total Atheist... The Catholic school up bringing did give me a basic knowledge of the bible and a moral foundation for what is right and wrong though..

The confession boxes were creepy as hell, lighting candles and say Our Father and Hail Mary prayers to atone for sins was a joke, rosary, up and down kneeling in church, eating the body of Christ (wafers) made me finally throw in the towel in the end... It just wasn't real for me...

It took me 10 years later to give my life to Jesus and become a Christian man through actual miracle works and a real personal relationship....
