General

I'm finally out. Yesterday I left Roman Catholic Church. I haven't been to church for at least 10 years, and I actually haven't belived in anything what the church had proclaimed. I converted to Atheism a few years ago, not only because the concept of belief in a religious meaning seems so totally unlogical to me, but also because all religions actually seem quite silly after you've had contact with Discordianism.

Anyway, religion in the western world is very often constructed in a way that it has real influence on the people without providing hardly anything substantial. Mankind was always occupied with questions like "who are we?", "where do we come from?", "where do we go?" (and probably "what shall we have for lunch?"), and religions claim to have answers to the questions, without actually providing real answers, but only "believe that it was in that and that way". This doesn't give anything to me, it doesn't make me happier in any way, it's actually the other way around: religion would put the burden of sin and a double moral standard on me, something that actually would make me less happy, so Atheism is the way to go for me, as I can make my own moral and ethical standards.

So I think leaving church was a good decision, as it finally interrupts the final connection that I had to it.
