I'm a hypocrite myself. I've had my kids receive the sacraments, and I wasn't just "not practicing", I was a full-blown Atheist!

Why did I do it? Laziness mostly, but also I didn't want to impose my views on my kids. When I was still catholic, my kids were sent to catholic school. Then I lost my faith, and I couldn't get around to rip them away from the environment they knew and loved. When they asked to receive the sacraments, I didn't want to force them.

Guilty as charged.

@AtheismTV My dear free-thinking brother, I was actually quite aware of your case while making this video. You do not have to explain anything to me. However - yes guilty as charged, but you have more than made up for any former crimes. Talk to you soon buddy.

|f only the "balanced" BBC would give you air time on for example "Thought for the Day"!

I take my hat off to you and for all you stand for.

Thank you.

@mgketteridge Thanks for the comment, indeed I would love at shot on the BBC or any TV channel to get our opinion out there, a little balance; but sadly the mainstream media are completely in league with the established cults, sorry religions! But ever little helps, even on YT. I for one will not stop trying to raise consciousness on the madness of blind faith in fairies.

Remember the Jesuit maxim "Give me a child for for his first seven years and I'll give you the man." Parents unthinkingly putting their kids into church hands is too useful to the church to give up. Without those parents, the church has no future but as an ever diminishing secret club no one wants to join.

Just found you... you rock!

It's terrible to see such parents unthinkingly push their kids into the church - it's easy to condemn but the social implications are obvious. This video & many others are helping people to wake up & think about their supposed beliefs - it can only lead to the reduction in religion & so the elevation of humanity. It'll take time,

Peace.

Good vid sky!!!, I see the point, in many catholic countries is the same...hypocrisy. If media were to play a more secular role, people would realise that what they are doing is wrong, very incestuous (because parents will be happy) and ultimately stupid. I wish the media stop presuming that we all belong to a faith, specially when public tv is paid from also all non-religious people!!!

[AtheismTV]

@skyzthelimi7 Well this was targeted towards the overall Atheist viewership. But thanks for "forgiving my sin".

[detersgumig]

Gotta love that no nonsense attitude of yours ;-)

Oh you are good... very very good!

However I don't think the Catholic religion will be so strict because they rely on baptism records to show how popular they are when like a large part of that aren't really Catholics. If you don't go to church on a regular basis and you don't believe their BS you aren't a Catholic, I should know I did once beleive and go to church every Sunday. But politically that will kill their fake influence.
