[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 494565, member: 1514"] I have an issue with organized religion and obviously it may show because I feel what is probably the Catholic guilt that my family laid on me thick. I feel an enormous amount of guilt for the things that I have done wrong in my life so I dont feel that I can just go in on Sunday and all will be well in the world. Im not one of those who feel that if I cross that threshold one time a week it means I can do bad things and treat other people badly the other 6 days. I feel like because I got pregnant out of wedlock a whole lot of times and had 2 kids without the sanctity of marriage, I dont have the right to sit there and listen to someone say things about the bad things that I have done without feeling bad about myself. When someone like Buck comes into my house and starts spouting this stuff to me, it really bothers me because I know his past and it is much worse than mine. I dont get how anyone can just turn that off. I have too much guilt. I wont just bury it and go down to the local church here because I am not disabled and start attending because they would probably help me with building ramp. They didnt come help Tony with making meals for him or clean the house when I was in the hospital with meningitis and he had attended that church his whole life when he was young. We had the funeral for his grandmother there. It seems like if they were so kind they would have reached out to him. Whatever. [/QUOTE]
