I am born from a roman catholic father and a christian protestant mother .
We went to a roman catholic church , two or three times a year .
Probably to virtual signal the faith of my father in that community .
I was thrown water in the face as a baby by a priest and did my first commune (what ever that is) at age seven .
At age 12 i went to Sunday church school meetings with some other kids from school . There was a priest to debate things in the group and have any questions you might have answered to you . I was tricked in going there by my father , it will be good for you , it will give you some guidance .
Kids had stupid questions about non important things , like where did the ox in the stable where Jesus was born came from . I had a question on that subject to ,.. Where did the snow come from in that setting , for it never snows in Bethlehem .
The priest was stupid enough to answer this by stating ,. there was no snow , we made that up to make the story more fitting in , for colder country's like we live in .
From there on i got the evil eye from the priest more and more .
I questioned ,. we should not worship statues and gold shining objects , while pointing around the church and all golden splendor splattered on the walls and windows including the Christ ( a statue ) hanging on a old oak cross complete with golden ornaments .
In short , one day my mother said , you are free on Sundays . i remember that after my last visit the priest had a long talk outside the church while i was waiting in the car . Thing is , after this , we as a family never went to church again . (except for a marriage or funeral) . I can only guess what was talked about , but back then i did not care .
Ended up on Sundays in the park , smoking pot , meeting other religion originated kids , like the Muslim , who did not want that set up and forced marriage with Shimila but had more interest in a blond big boobed Karen .
Where did the snow come from ?
A question that made it all melt away and showed me the base it was build on .
All the hate , all the lies , the heresy .

Both my parents are die hard catholics. Father was an abusive drunkard until he received 3 alnost fatal accidents, then he chilled out. We don't talk at all any more. A little talk with mother here and then but that it.
My brother doesn't speak to me either for some unknown reason.
Growing up I was forced with violence to attend church every sunday. And being how the catholics have many special holidays and events, we attended those too.
It didn't take me long to realize that añl the stories they told me about jesus or moses and the separation of water with a staff was just either fiction or there were alien intervention. Now I see it's a mix of the two and nothing is real. These, I take not literally what is written in the bible.
Funny, We are taught to read from left to right, but when it came to the bible, I was very often told I was reading it wrong. I had to start here, the gi here, then here then over to this page, then back over here and so on. It was obvious to me they wanted me to learn only in a very specific way. So then, why not order the book in the way they want me and everyone else to read it in the first place? If its so important to read from there to here to there to over there to here and blah blah blah, why not in that order from the start? Never got a straight answer from that.
I was into greek Mythology because i liked to look at the cosmos and star gaze in the night at the constellations. The greeks had a more famous attachment with their gods associated with the constellations. And being how I read the bible a more than few tines front to back, i immediately saw many similarities. Then one day I stumbled upon this solar mythology and was hooked. Many things started to click. Made me angry too. That I had to put up with so much lies for nothing. But now I laugh at how idiotic it all is.
So I started looking for other religions. To see if they had the same problem. My god how astoundingly it was to find it was the same stories told in a slight different manner and all othese fighting over which was the right correct religion. Literally hundreds and hundreds of religions and thousands and thousands of gods with the same bsckstory even much older than "jesus".
And none could prove it to exist. But we must have faith in it. Lol yea right.
Started a comment ,.. turning it in to a post ,. one to add to my biography .
I don't speak my socialist statist brother , i don't speak with my old father , who is very disappointed with me true whole his life , my mother passed away about 13 years ago , and my own kids and so ex , banned me from there lives .
Like ,.? ,.. they did not have faith in me ?
I guess they didn't .
But he' i still exist .
