I know how you feel, I was pretty much the same way. If not for the "you must go to church every week or else you'll end up in Hell" belief, I'd have stopped going to church a lot sooner. I was always bored by it and never got anything useful out of it, and only went because of that lingering guilt.
It was that same guilt I always had over premarital sex or masturbation. I honestly think that the Catholic church wants to destroy people's sexuality unless they can make more little Catholics.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
