There aren’t a lot of family traditions that my parents kept that I do not. The big one that comes to mind is religion. My parents were raised catholic and they raised the three of us to be catholic. Somewhere along the line I realized I didn’t believe any of it. Even when I was going to church every Sunday as a kid, I don’t think I believed any of it. I went through the motions, but I never felt it. My brother is still faithful. My sister… I don’t really know one way or another. Me? Atheist. The tradition I don’t keep is going to church.
Rant beginning
I thought the whole priests-systematically-raping-children-then-covering-it-up-for-each-other thing would have brought more people to my way of thinking, but I also thought fascists running the government would have brought people to my little corner of the political spectrum (closer to it at least) but that didn’t seem to happen either, so what do I know.
Rant over. Sorry.
