Have you ever gone back?

[Whateverist]

I visited my town's cathedral when I needed the restroom. I think it's fitting that the first time I entered a church after my deconversion was to poop.

Thanks for evening the score for all the times theists have come onto here and dropped loads of crap everywhere.

Once in my mid twenties I went with my father to his church just as a friendly thing to do for/with him. I wasn't at all considering returning for myself. At the time I could believe in a lot of things but not that. Boring? Of course. Worse, I wasn't able to get through the whole thing without .. expressing myself.

After suffering through prayers and readings they got to discussing raising money to support missionaries. I asked if it was really necessary to make the whole world over in their image. Must everyone in the entire world wear a tie and carry a bible on Sundays? The head-guy asked someone in a pew what they would do if he discovered a snake in his path. That guy said he would watch it. So I guess they saw me as a snake and kept their eyes on me. Oh well, in my own mind I was on my best behavior and trying to do something for my father. I just couldn't quite keep the revulsion in check.
