[...] tonight I performed my yearly duty and attended Christmas Eve Mass with my parents. No blow by blow account this year, but the homily was worth mentioning. The priest, who I did not recognize, gave the [...]

And I should add, even though Anath is well than enough capable of defending herself and her stance, she never did anything to actually stick out or to cause an actual form of rebellion. It's not like she ran up to podium and started to yell about how there is no god; and the book she read was something she was interested in reading, and she dresses the way she does because she likes to dress that way. She didn't do it because she wanted to seem different, she was herself all along. I don't see any teenage rebellion in that.

yeah, Anath was just telling her own experience and how she views this experience as a non-christian. what's pathetic about sharing an experience ?
and if you would read through some of the articles here you will find something more than "teenage rebellion" .

How's that so? It's a pretty brave thing to keep your back straight under all that social pressure. If this is pathetic, it's a compliment.

As a non-christian, I have to say that this is pretty pathetic, "rebellious teenagers". This is as bad as emos.

Very funny. Loved the detailed descriptions. I'm was never a catholic so all the ritual crap is kind of interesting from afar. Glad it was not I who had to go ps. Any pics of the milkmaid??

hahaha. been there, done that. I mean I had two weddings this year, so I had to be in church. For me in was kind of fun. Since most of my friends are atheists we had quite a lot of fun. hell, I even have a lot of pictures with me making the Devil's sign in church. other than weddings and stuff related to, well no church for me. I've been there when I was young, I know what it is all about, and it is boring as fucking hell…i mean heaven. Hell is quite entertaining.

@jorrizza: no shit ! you really got banned from entering your local church ? ))) I wonder what they'd do if you were to enter ….

Hippie priest? I find the concept of a hippie and a priest hard to imagine tbh… I have met metalhead priests but hippie?

I had two weddings too, but they were both somewhat nontraditional so I really didn't count them as "going to mass"… one was in a "nondenominational" church with buddha statues right next to virgin Mary statues, with some hippie female pastor presiding (no Christianity was mentioned), the other one was outside this Greek Orthodox retreat place, and we never went into the church area. Closest thing to church-things was a prayer at some point of the wedding, I think?
