Two things I'm, interested in here ... first is the question, "Do Catholics (and I'm an ex) practice self-hatred?" Remembering the fear, the nightmares, the contempt for other religions and many other aspects of my young Catholicism leads me to suspect DLF is right.
Secondly, an aside ... it has been stated that most of the atheists here are ex-Catholic (I think it was Frodo but I'm not claiming that as fact), is that true (I wasn't aware it was)?
