As I've said 2 years earlier, I'm still pretty...unreligious (no, not a word, but I couldn't think of one to get my thought across).
Raised Catholic, our whole family pretty much stopped practicing after my sister made Confirmation. I've not set foot in our own church in over 3 years, but I have been to others, mainly for funerals of old relatives. Truth be told, our church isn't very good. My mother claims they're very greedy, and I can believe it.
Now, the church where I used to live..that place was fun. Across the street from it was a Catholic school. Every Monday after school I'd attend a religion class there to prepare for my Reconciliation, and Communion (most children there made their first Communion at the age of 7 or 8, as I did). I think I was the only one there who actually enjoyed the taste of the bread (I still do). After church every Sunday morning, there would be a breakfast held in the school. We'd go and enjoy ourselves there, and chat with friends, etc.
The priests at the old church were cool, too. They'd always tell jokes which made everyone laugh. The only time I laughed at our "current" church was when one of the priests tripped and fell as he walked up the stairs to his podium.
After I moved I was "home taught" my Religion classes the first year I lived here. After that I went to a woman's house every Wednesday evening. She was nice, her kid was nice, but all the other kids were terrible. I also realized my first year there that they had not made their First Communion yet. I basically sat that year out, and after that I prepared to make Confirmation my Freshman year of High School. I didn't look back after I left the Church that day.
So, yeah, you're all bored to death or skipped my post entirely. =)
