In reply to the discussion: Record low take bible as literal word of God. Record high say it's collection of man written fables [View all]GReedDiamond
(5,318 posts)5. After I was forced to proclaim my allegiance to Jesus....
...because that's what I was forced to do, up to about the age of 12, which was when I was "confirmed" into the Holy Roman Catholic FaithTM.
I immediately announced I would no longer be attending services, and in fact, was an ATHEIST!
My father, who, as a devout catholic, did his "duty" by forcing me to be confirmed, immediately let me know that whatever "spiritual path" I chose was good with him, he fulfilled his basic requirement to the "church."
End of story.
