Perhaps take a bit of care with the sweeping generalistions Min. My 86 year old mother is a devout Catholic and the kindest most compassionate person I know,with a strong social conscience and personal ethics. My father was also very devout,but he was a bit of a cunt.
padraic,
We buried my grandmother three years ago. She was 93. Aside from the fact that she had ten kids she could have been a nun. That was the measure of her devoutness. When she was 80 she would drive the 'older' people to the doctor and the grocery store and ride roller coasters with me. She was a tough, strong woman. Everything in her life was about getting into heaven. At her wake (her maiden name was McGinnis, so imagine the wake) my uncle said 'don't be sad, she had been living for this day her entire life'. I was immediately very sad.
So, stop your special pleading; it's distastful. As far as being a cunt; let me tell you about Grandpa!
