I was brought up Catholic and I found church services to be incredibly boring. Every week it was the same thing... the same liturgy, the same rituals, the same prayers... Sit, kneel, stand, kneel, stand, kneel, sit... I couldn't wait until it was over. There was nothing inspiring about it. Particularly when I was very young and everything was in a language I didn't understand. One of my most vivid memories of church was one day when, during the priest's sermon, I saw a friend of mine seated a few rows over (I was about 10 and my mother sent me to church by myself). I got up and sat next to my friend. After the service I was heading out the door where the priest was standing greeting people. Before I could even say, "Hi, Father!" the priest glowered at me and snarled, "You were the one who got up and moved during the service!" He then gave me a ration of shit before I could get out of there. Yeah... really made me want to go back!
I stopped going to church when I was about 12 and got confirmed. Guess my mother thought that was enough.
The only time I go to church now is for weddings and funerals. But the stupidity of the rituals can get to me sometimes. Particularly when the pedophile - I mean priest - lights up some type of smoke emitter and swings it around. I always make it a point to cough loudly a few times. I also make it a point to be the last person to stand or sit when the sheep follow their routine. And I NEVER kneel. I'll sit on the edge of the seat and lean on the back of the pew in front of me. I'll be fucked if I'm going to kneel to their fictitious being.

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
