Are there are catholics on here?
I'm a recovering catholic. We tend to be rather pissy but educated atheists. Also, we tend to get really sex-crazed when we finally kick the rosary habit.
-
My extended family are mostly catholics
Does that mean we should have sex?
Me and you I mean. Not me and my family
I say yes
parts I pass on you but only coz I don't do married men

Hail Mary, full of grace, the lord is with thee, and blessed are......aw fuckit, I'm an atheist, baptised Catholic, raised Episcopalian, read the bible, realized it's bullshit, realized I didn't believe in a god but was too afraid to admit it, took up smoking cigarettes, graduated to weed, turned 21, told the minister at my former church that he was full of shit (to his face), laughed as he called me a blasphemer, joined American Atheists, realized that American Atheists are all whiney bitches and stopped paying my dues, and here I sit, beer in hand, telling you my about my former life as a religious person.

I wanna fuck Jesus up the arse 8)

Don't we all?

I'll take a Clinton because a blow job isn't sex :zoinks:

My dad's side of the family are Irish Catholics, but I was raised Baptist. Catholicism is retarded. as is any form of religion. The history of the Catholic Church is super retarded, and the Anglican Church is like its mutant stepchild. Good ol' Henry VIII needed to have his marriage annulled, so he made his own church.
-
I think you should all join the satanist church of Bintycunt. You've got to give me sacrifices twice-weekly though :(
-
I got all the way though Confirmation so I could get the presents then stopped.
-
I did confirmation too. Bet none of you will guess what my confirmation name is 8)

^Theresa?
I was baptised as Roman catholic and went to church until I was 10. Then my parents split up and I didn't go to church after that.

Had I been raised Catholic it probably would be. I was raised Episcopalian, we even had gays in the church before homosexuality was culturally acceptable.

My mother was raised Catholic.
Got my leg felt up by my best friend's dad during her confirmation. :zombiefuck:

We didn't have priests in Episcopalianism, we had Rectors, I never did understand the difference. At my church, the rector was a woman and she was married. She didn't look that bad, so if she did make an advance, I don't think it would've bothered me that much.
Slightly off topic:
The first time I ever got drunk was at a church, I was 12 and me and a friend ducked out of the service right after communion and started wandering around the church building. We found the storage room and took a bottle of the cheap California wine they use for communion and went up into the bell tower where we spent the rest of the service passing the bottle back and forth. After the service was over we went into the function room where everybody goes for coffee after the service, we were both shitfaced. Someone asked me if I was alright and I said "Yes, I have Jesus in me, I feel fantastic".
-
^ :D
Rectors?! What a strange name for them.

Fuck you Irish Catholics for your Magdalene Laundries :grrr:

I was one until I was 14. I questioned long before that, but I was fairly religious beforehand. :screwy:
Was atheist for a while, but a lot of them are just as religious and fundamentalist as the very religious people they hate. Became agnostic when I gradually realised that no one has the answer to everything. While I think god, heaven etc. is a load of bullshit invented by humans, there may be "something" out there that cannot be explained, at least with current technology. More like a "glue" or representation of a mathematical formula than anything truly spiritual.
-
^^^ You do realize that atheist and agnostic aren't mutually exclusive right??
If you lack a POSITIVE belief in a deity or deities, congratulations! you're an atheist!
Gnosticism vs agnosticism is merely a statement of certianty.
I think you meant to say that you were a Gnostic (explicit or strong) Atheist vs what you are now which is an agnostic atheist. :police:
-
I don't bother using some wanky D&D like terms (chaotic agnostic?, lawful atheist? :orly:), it's either agnostic or athiest to me. Claiming i'm a "agnostic athiest" just sounds horribly pedantic and usually follows up a lengthy explanation that leads to nowhere except the person thinking you're a twat.

Didn't I just get done explaining that theism and gnosticism are 2 different categories?? ???

Then you must be explaining yourself wrong. There's an important distinction between Implicit(weak) and Explicit(strong) atheism.
Explicit Atheism= there are no god(s)
Implicit Atheism= there is no good evidence for god(s)
The former requires some kind of evidence because it's making a positive claim.

Isn't that the same thing as being an atheist?? :orly:

Well Shleed?? no response??

My point is that while I know of these, I simply choose to ignore the fluff. Why should I need to over complicate things by referring myself as a chaoticgnosticagnosticatheistsegamegadriveioncannonextraordinaire because of subtle differences when I can cut the bullshit and round things up? I simply refer to myself as agnostic because I am unsure of certain things, ie. what happens when we die and so on.

The difference between strong and weak atheism isn't a subtle one, it's quite significant actually.

Does it make sense to be agnostic about fairies in your garden? does it make sense to be agnostic about pink unicorns?? By the same tokien, it's absurd to be agnostic about gods because we know, that out of the thousands of examples of them, that they're all myths. Why would you stongly disbelieve in Zeus but be agnostic towards the god of the bible? It doesn't make any sense.
In a similar vein, belief in an afterlife is absurd because in order to keep the mind going, there would have to be a similar structure to a brain to keep the "soul" alaive. We see no evidence for this, so once again, it's absurd to be agnostic towards things for which 1) there is no evidence and 2) things that are clearly tied to mythology.

I already said I think the whole concept of god in general is bullshit. You're trying to provide a counter argument to one that isn't there.

We see no evidence for this, so once again, it's absurd to be agnostic towards things for which 1) there is no evidence and 2) things that are clearly tied to mythology.
I never mentioned an afterlife and personally don't care if there is one or not. However, what happens when we die cannot be directly studied. Sure you can indirectly study it by checking brain activity and such, but what do *you* experience?
Blackness?
The realization we're dreaming?
The realization that reality as we know it was not real?
Etc.
All of these are possible, but there is no evidence of any of them. Being sure on blackness is just the same is being sure there is an afterlife, both could be complete myths and something completely different could happen. In reality, the only way to find out is to die.

Yes, I am Catholic and came very close to becoming a Nun, studying Theology. I have not been to church in many years, but I will occasionally consult a priest if need be.
However, I am interested in all doctrines, whether I agree with them or not. I am particularly fascinated with Paganism, Native American Indian cultural and belief systems, "voodoo" and I readily read and practice Taoism.
I had a very good mentor on my way to the convent, in high school. He was a very open minded priest and encouraged me to study Judaism, Islam and a number of other doctrines.
Any reason for the callout hon?
Loup

This is funny, Scat basically told me to hurry up with my response and now it looks like he's reluctant to respond. :zoinks:
I'm apathetic of people's beliefs unless they try to force their views onto me like some self-righteous cuntwit. This also applies to athiests, but most are under the delusion that their beliefs isn't a religion. They basically say:
In the name of the Science
The Smug
And the Holy Evolution
Amen.

"Matthew," because somebody told me he was some kind of bookkeeper, and at the time I was confirmed,
I thought I wanted to be an accountant because supposedly it was a good sensible field to go into.
It was a clueless time of life in so many ways, right down to the ill-chosen dress I wore to my confirmation! :rofl:

My goodness! What a difference a few years and many miles can make. Saints had to match the sex of the confirmant. My saint, as posted in another thread, is Euphrasia.

BULLSHIT! blackness fits the evidence that we DO have. That the conciousness and self are just manifestations of brain activity. Wehne the brain dies, so does the self. That is what the evidence points to.

One week from today I fly out to Minnesota to be the best man at my brother's wedding. His fiancee's family is, from what I hear, psycho-catholic, she's already bit him in the neck and sucked all the episcopalianism out, now he acts like he's been Catholic his whole life. So I'm gonna be standing there next to the altar in a tux for not only the service, but the full 2-hour high mass before the service. I also get to meet her whole side of the family including the grandmother who apparently talks in tounges from time to time and has been known to enforce the saying of the Rosary with a broom handle.
I have a feeling there's gonna be some people who don't like me that much because I can only keep my "Atheist-bastardism" at bay for so long before I gotta start having a logical conversation which usually ends with people taking a step back to avoid the lightning bolt they think is about to hit me.

Yeah good luck you will need it. Make sure you have enough :stoned: for the ceremony they are indeed brutal. Good thing is most catholic receptions are pretty wild I think it's due to the repression in other areas of their lives

I'm flying out there and since every TSA agent thinks there's a bomb up everyone's ass, I'm not gonna risk bringing any trees on the flight. The night I get out there we're supposed to go bar hopping, so hopefully somebody will find something, if not I might just have to settle with my old buddy 'weiser.

I'd wear a bunch of wooden dowels, painted red, attached by wires and linked to a clock on my chest, just to fuck with them. :evillaugh:

Am I catholic ? I don't know. My mother and fathers family were both catholic, but neither ever went to church. Bt they would say "catholic" when asked. Does that mean something ?
No, I do not believe in Catholicism. But, I find the concept of transubstantiation fascinating.
