I grew up in an Irish catholic family living in an Irish catholic neighborhood, but I never felt like I belonged, partially because I could never fully bring myself to blindly follow a belief with so many loopholes. I'd love to make some friends here since I don't know many atheists in real life (I still live with my mother while I attend a local college, and in our house, "atheist" is a dirty word).
How does your mom feel about "pedophile priest?"
Welcome aboard. I abandoned NY for the desert in 2005 and am also a former catholic although of Italian heritage.
