RE: ASU Convert?
I have a theory these atheists converting to catholicism are doing so for the ritualization it contains. I know more than my share of Wiccans, and ritual is anecdotally the main draw.
Hell, it's one of the aspects of Buddhism I miss. Luckily, my OCD offers me plenty without the woo baggage.

Meh.

So is this going to be the day Max Kolbe scours the Internet for reports on converts to Catholicism?

Tomorrow is Islam. I'm ecumenical.

I wonder why the fucker doesn't post stories like this?

Quote:Church attendance in Ireland, though still among the highest in Western Europe, has fallen from about 85% to 60% from 1975 to 2004, according to the Dublin Archdiocese.

Ireland is not an exception. Every major religion except Islam is declining in Western Europe, according to the Center for the Study on Global Christianity at the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Mass. The drop is most evident in France, Sweden and the Netherlands, where church attendance is less than 10% in some areas.

Entire continents are telling the pope to blow it out his ass but this schmuck thinks one guy accepting his bullshit is newsworthy? I can only conclude that he is as nutty as G-C, Drippy and the other protestant fuckheads.

I'd scour the internet for deconversion stories, but I'm only one man with a finite amount of time.

At A.S.U. that usually entails binge drinking and a blow job.

Quote:The weekend before classes started at Arizona State University, a task force focused on alcohol-related crimes in Tempe arrested 371 people in just three days.

In the first weekend after classes started, the same task force went out and nabbed 486 people in a three-day stretch, which seems to mean that the partyin' is on the rise.
