To church and I remember calling the priest a liar and my Dad shushing me and saying " yeah, but just keep it to yourself." He knew it was all a bunch of bs, but went to church to make his very devout, very old world Italian Mom happy and off his back about how us kids were going to hell for not being baptized. I swear the way those people drove after church they thought they were blessed. They'd just pull out of the lot into traffic without looking at all.
