I finally decided to do something I've wanted to do for a long while: resign to be a member of the Catholic church. Simply because I am not a believer, I do believe the church is full of crap and hypocresi and it was never my decision to ever be baptized. I was 1 year old and I was forced to become a member of an institution that I have no respect for. The same institution that is against the use of condoms to prevent STDs, the same institution that discriminates homosexuals, that does not allow to have sex before marriage (yet EVERYONE does that, even those of you who are SOOO CHRISTIANS). The fact is that I am not allowed to vote, enter a disco or even sign up for the videoclub until I am 18 years old, but the church reserves its right to sign in everybody no matter age. I never gave permission to anyone to register me as a christian, yet apparently I am. And I DON'T WANT TO BE!!!! Fine by me if a person that is religious wants to be part of the church (everyone should be free to decide for themselves), but I do not wish to be and I don't unerstand why the church is making it so difficult to sign out! They are depriving me from my right to decide my faith (or lack of!). Oh wait, yes I know! Because the more people registered, the more right to subventions and MONEY! Please, let's not forget that the church is BUSINESS!!! (Shock!)
That's why I have started to fill up what in Spanish we call a "apostasía" which is a document where you voluntearily resign to the christian faith. Some say it is very difficult to sign out and that the different archbishoprics refuse the petitions for evert stupid little reason whatsoever, which only makes me even more furious!!! Anyway, if there's someone else interested I can send the formularies in Spanish, just ask!
