And I'm sure I'll be bashed for even posting this.

I eat meat on "Good Friday" and don't care. I don't feel the white bearded guy in the sky is sending me to eternal damnation for not donating money to his cause. I would also use a Bible/Koran/whatever page to roll a smoke and not care, although that is bordering on hyperbole. Lol.

I don't recall personally bashing Christians in this thread. But I do consider all organized mainstream religions to be the greatest cancer of the human race. While it has some good points, the negatives far outweigh the positives. It is responsible for the vast majority of death, war, hate, fear mongering, bigotry, and oppression in this world today and throughout history. I will not have any part of it.
And I went Catholic School my whole life.
