I was raised RC, went to church pretty much every sunday of my life until I turned into a YAJ (young adult jerk). When I grew out of that I went back, and now manage about 1-2 times a month (no mean feat, what with two working parents and 3 under-5's).
The thing I never got, and I really don't know if it's an RC/Protestant thing or a US/Canada thing or something else entirely, is that whole judgement and damnation thing. I've heard a lot of war stories about people driven from faith, or emotionally abused because of this whole thing, and I'm honestly sitting there kinda slack-jawed going "Hunh? Wha? That's not God, dude. That's your asshole dad."
I'd love to get in on any religion talk at Gencon, if you folks are willing to trust a damn near total stranger 'n all.
