Yeah. That dark chocolate. And both stains youe teeth.
I did when I became Catholic as an adult. I had freedom to learn and, unlike many Catholics, and read my bible. I was able to choose whats morally right by making sense of the faith and how what I did affected me. I cant forget that.
What I didnt like is how Christianity is set up. It puts a cycle affect that makes you feel you need god rather than wanting to be with him. It makes one worship him rather than being his friend. Like becoming a child all iver again (I have many more) but these things never harmed me because I wasnt forced to believe. So I left.
Thats unfortunaty. In and of itself, religion harms no one. Its how one applies it is the key.
No I suppose not. I just wonder how many people think they 'want' when in reality they have no choice because the belief was drilled in at such a young age they couldn't shake it.

Thats why I say "in and of itself" to try and look at it objectively and not by the numbers of who is harmed compared to who has been helped by religion.It's not, I just don't think it helps people as often as it harms, and I think people gloss over the harm and overly emphasize the help.
If you ask her, she would have told you religion helped her greatly in life. Gave her a purpose and moral guidance.
