Yeah - it's pretty hard to not masturbate in public, like a retarded monkey, when your junk is right there - within the reach of your hand. Most of us manage, though, thank you very much.
It's hard to "shake" god, because dumb c*nts force that idea on little children and things that you learn then are the basis of all your knowledge. If you tell something horrific and traumatic to kids - chances are they will remember that for the rest of their lives. Similarly, when priests rape kids - that's hard to "shake" too. Even if in later life you're not raped by clergy so much anymore...
