yeah, I realize that it wasn't a "catholic" thing, but i am often surprised by the way people who claim to be religious act. I think i just have a lot of bad experiences with religious people. Here's another example, I knew a lady who often would go around telling people that they were sinners and pointing out all the bad things they have done, but with a little math, I figured out that she had baby less than 5 months after she was married, so who is she to run around and tell other people that they are sinning. I've always been put off by religions that are excluding people in their "ceremonies". I would think that most of our religions are centered about a god who teaches forgiveness and acceptance, but some organized religions and churches don't practice that themselves. Another thing, I found myself sitting in church one time for 2 hours while the guy talked about how we should do good stuff for others. lets say 2 hours a week, once a week, say 25 weeks out of the year. thats 50 hours that could have been spent doing good stuff rather than talking about it. back to the signs though, this is a prime example of why i don't feel compelled to become and state my religion as anything in particular. They're paying so much money for signs on sides of buses that will effectively do nothing but act as a retaliation against the atheists who put the first signs up. There's people who are starving and dying of all sorts of terrible things that would do anything for clean water, food, clothing, simple medications... I just think it could go for better things.
