Lest we forget - Religion is...

I think this will comes as news to Catholics! The Duties of Catholics as Listed in the Catechism 1. To attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation and rest from servile labor. 2. To receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation at least once a year, if aware of committing a mortal sin. 3. To receive Holy Communion at least once a year, between the first Sunday of Lent and Trinity Sunday. 4. To observe the fast days and abstinence days established by the Church. 5. To contribute to the material support of the Church And that's just for starters.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Hardly demanding, is it?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Well the first is neither here nor there since you have to go to the requisite number of masses whether you actually take communion or not. The second is required of no other Christian denomination so it's certainly more demanding than that. In reality no priest is going to let you get away with once a year if he can help it. This was, in any case, a discussion about obligations placed upon children (and the effect in later life) and in that there is no doubt that Catholicism is far more intense. Most Catholic children will attend Catholic schools with a full programme of religious teaching and observance in addition to attending services with their parents. Being a Catholic child is for most a 24/7 job!

I suppose you don't see the irony in telling religious people to stop sharing their beliefs, do you?

So you think I should stop telling them to stop spreading their faith? If so I think you should stop saying I should stop telling them to stop spreading their religion. Then you can tell me to stop telling you to stop... what were we talking about again?

"Religion is like a dick. It's OK to have one and even be proud of, but you don't have to whip it out in public and wave it around or try to shove it down our throats. "Religion is like a fart. If you have to force it then it's probably poo. "Sharing your faith is akin to sharing a fart in an elevator. You might feel good getting it out but nobody else wants to hear it. "Religion is like crack. If you give it to the kids early enough, they'll be hooked on it for life.
Here you go, move to Russia, Russia's Newest Law: No Evangelizing Outside of Church | Gleanings | ChristianityToday.com[^]. I've heard you should not bring your own jacket, it won't suffice, just buy one there.
