Re: ADD and religion

[Anonymous]

Well, I’ve finally arrived at a decision. Next Sunday – Easter Sunday – will be the last time I attend Mass at a Catholic Church. I went to this morning’s Palm Sunday Mass, and as usual it was excruciatingly boring for me. And it was even longer than usual, since they read the Passion of the Lord in its entirety. I even had to step out and take a small break after an hour! Afterwards we gathered downstairs for coffee hour, and as usual I was in a surly mood. I got into a bit of an argument with another parishioner, and left in a huff. At that point I realized I can’t continue this. I go to church and I feel like a hypocrite, I never feel at home and close to God – yes, God, I still believe – And I think it’s time to sever all ties with organized religion. It simply doesn’t work for me anymore, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to continue to cause myself and others grief over it. Maybe if I can get a job with health insurance I can get my ADD treated, but until then this is the way it’ll have to be for me.
