Oh, the priests made very sure that we didn't like god when we were kids. Telling us that if we sin, god would take what's dearest to us, did the job just fine. But being a kid, I didn't reflect on the trinity and so I made a distinction between God and Jesus. I still liked him, just loathed the father.
Sounds like you had a traumatic childhood Rhondazvous. Actually, having been raised catholic myself and attending eight years of catholic school I can sympathize somewhat with you, even though you're exaggerating greatly. When I was in catholic school, we pretty much did the same things other kids did. I didn't notice any of the kids talking suicide or anything like that.
