I just don't like Cheese's anger toward anything to do with god or religion. I was brought up in an atheist family and I don't remember any of this anger except one grandfather who was an Orangeman and didn't like the Catholics. The major teaching I had was that religion was the 'opiate of the people' and religious people were kind of looked on with amusement. A modern educated man can stand on his own two feet without asking for devine help. I still believe this.
I was even sent off to a regular Sunday school with my sister and we found the whole thing pretty boring and kind of insulting too, calling me and everbody a sinner. Later we were sent to a real holy roller church for a while. This wasn't nearly as boring and me and my sister couldn't wait to get home and laugh at the goings on.
Still, this did open my mind to alternate views and though I didn't look to the church to find any answers, I did want to find some meaning in my life. Luckily for me I did find something very satisfying without having to adapt to any ideologies. Glad I was taught to think for myself.
