If you don't want to answer, that's cool, Neims.

Everything. I feel like a horrible person all around. I guess a lot of it comes from catholic indoctrination.

And I used to believe some really awful things in the past. I don't anymore, but still feel bad about it.

I hope you're finding your way to liking yourself. But I will tell you what I told a member at TTA, in a different context, but still apt here: The choices you and I made when we were younger were too often flawed. Beating yourself up over the foolish thoughts of your own youth strikes me as not only counter-productive, but unjust.

RE: Thank You
Yep, you'd be crazy to think that the things you know now are all the true things. You will learn new things, and you will look back on where you're at right now and scoff at your naiveté or hubris.

Same as before. You had people you trust giving you information that they deemed correct, and you trusted them. You cannot be faulted for that. What you can be, though, is congratulated for having broken free and used your brain to discover your own path, your own truth. You can be applauded for not being a mindless automaton, and you can be proud of the fact that you are doing the real work to undo the damage that others have done to you, all the while not treating yourself like a victim in the process.

So:

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
