I've learned that every former Christian has read the entire Bible, and also attended Sunday School every day of their lives. But they asked questions that made the teacher break down in tears, and were then kicked out for displaying independent thought. Every. Single. Former. Christian.
Also, I am glad that the article included information about some other vocalist's new single. I found that particularly not relevant to the topic at hand.
I have read the Bible several times, attended CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, sorta like Sunday school, but written in 1562) and asked a lot of questions without receiving good answers. No tears (nuns don't cry) and wasn't kicked out, as far as I remember. I was however encouraged to not ask so many questions, and it was hinted on the down low that if I read something other than the Catechism and didn't ask questions, it would not be reported upon so long as the paperwork went smooth. Pretty sure nuns knew I was a heretic from the get-go, but wanted to make the process easier for both of us.
I don't know if I count as a "former Christian" or not. The second part is slightly modified because old school Catholic nuns are made of sterner stuff.
Other than those minor quibbles, I guess I fit that stereotype to a T.
That said, it's fine that she's all disappointed in Catholic doctrine, but licking someone else's food should be punished significantly.
