Christ Be Our Light

Who am I?

I am Happy Catholic, I am a female Catholic, who follows the Roman Catholic path.
I went to a Non-Denominational School when I was growing up, though we still learned about all the different religions, especially Christianity.
I made a choice to become a catholic as an adult, no other religion gives me peace quite like Catholicism. 

What was I before becoming Catholic.

I was an atheist who felt that there was something much more grander than me and the world as a whole.  I take delight in the little big things in life.

when I was an atheist I used to meet a lot of very militant atheists, who, believed that their "way is the only way".  while being with those people and going to a school that was a Non-Denominational School, I was surrounded by Christians, Catholics, Muslims and Sheikhs, etc. it was through my education that I was introduced to faiths that were calming to me.

What Happened at my school to put me off atheism as a whole?

Militant Atheism, I said it, yes, it was militant atheists who put me off atheism as a whole - for life.

One day in school, there was a boy who was dragged out of class violently by his dad, simply because his dad did not want him to be "indoctrinated" into any religion, never mind the fact that we were only LEARNING about them, weren't being forced to choose one and then living it.

This scene left a sour taste in my mouth, even thinking about it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I understand his father's point of view, really I do. But, there are ways and means of getting what you want and need without violence or a threat of it. 

You get nowhere with violence or aggression.
