Having parents with two different religious beliefs.

Churches in Europe (big medieval buldings - therefor very cold spiced with the disgusting smell of mold)

Having a catholic priest as teacher in school who would beat up the kids if they didnt read the bible and stuff

Getting beaten up by other kids for not wanting to be an alter boy

Getting beaten by people for not attending church

My Grandpas long and painfull death due to a inoperable braintumor

Finding out that my religious grandpa and various others amongst my loving family members were nazis

Bush

the Irak war
