Former Roman Catholic here. The dogma is just ludicrous when you take a moment to think about it. A god that presides over the entire universe is upset when I masturbate? Beautiful, innocent children get cancer and die, and people think that this is somehow part of a bigger plan? I mean, the book of Leviticus is a joke. It's tough to stay in line with the dogma when you just don't believe in it.
Politically, I am astounded as to how my views have changed as I get older. What made sense 10 or 20 years ago seems absurd now.

I wasn't raised Roman Catholic, but Baptist. And for me it was George Carlin. When "You Are All Diseased" came out I was attending a private christian school that my mother made me go to, and Carlin opened my eyes to the bullshit that the school, and the church was spewing. I told my mom that I wanted to go to a public school, and walked away from all of it and I've been happier since.
