Funny thing is that I can't remember a single thing I learned from them. I remember the doughnuts after Mass, but nothing from the classes.
I've learned more about religion from CTyankee's art challenges and essays than I ever learned as a kid in the Catholic church.
I was Catholic until I went to Vietnam. When I was medevac'd back to an Army hospital in San Francisco and the head nurse asked what I wanted to put for 'Religion' on my bed card, I told her, "None." When she asked if I meant 'Decline to state' I told her no. "Just put 'none'."
