I'm not religious anymore myself. Grew up Catholic. But my experience with it definitely seems to be different than a lot of other people. The priest we had was super progressive and inclusive. Didn't spout any of the fire and brimstone crap either. Actually tried to live the life of Jesus and told us to love and accept everyone, including gays and people from other religions, etc. I do realize this isn't the typical experience for most people though. I think father Matthew was genuinely a good guy and got into the faith because he actually wanted to help people.

I must be one of the lucky few who weren't raised by hypocritical Christians. My parents actually tried to be generous and helpful.
20 years? The way they talk it's gonna happen in 20 weeks. Obviously, they exaggerate, but it does seem we are on the edge of something big.
