3. Yeah, Your Mom was a true believer

Funny, my Mom started out as a good Catholic girl. She even had a short stint as a nun. As she got older, she believed less and less in a god. In the end, she hoped for something more but knew there really wasn't. But she was never afraid to die. She just accepted it as part of reality.

As a child I believed the Catholic line. But as I saw no evidence of any god in my life, I just got more and more Athiest. First I pulled away from Cathocism. Then gave up on all organized religions.Then thought there might be some spiritual life. Then just gave it all up as I saw absolutely no evidence of any magical spirit in my life.

And now I see all the damage religion does to society and people. It really is dangerous psychological manipulation.
