Re: GC Challenge Post! Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations

Em - yes, I would say that a nose-tweak thrill is definitely part of it. (Excellent analogy, by the way.) It's probably not my noblest quality, but whenever I come across an old line of code in my brain and realise that it's a Catholic dogma that I no longer believe, I do take an angry delight in denouncing it (even if only to myself). Catholicism made me feel ashamed and powerless for a long time, so for the moment at least I enjoy disavowing.

That's interesting about apostasy in your religion, and I think it does ring true for why I choose that word. I wouldn't say that my apostasy and atheism are unconnected, but the former has a lot more to do with the social teachings/political actions of the church than its position on the existence of god.

OP

The analogy is unfortunately true to my past life. :-\ Owing to the "stuff happened" that I mentioned, I was in much the same position for a number of years, and I really did get kind of an internal-rebel-yell thrill out of doing the things that were against my religion. Note I was also quite young at this time! :-) Though it isn't something I'm proud of now, obviously!

I am sorry your religion made you feel ashamed and powerless. No religion should ever do that. :-(

I definitely agree that Catholic thought patterns can get into your head in sometimes harmful ways, and actively rejecting those ideas can be empowering. In my experience, the psychology of guilt and unworthiness is pretty prevalent in Catholicism -- not so good for a kid with a burgeoning anxiety disorder.
