I was forced to confess my sins at the age of 7. What 7 year old has "sins"?!?!?!

I remember that I would have to invent sins to confess to while waiting my turn in line.. that's one fucked up thing to do to any kid. And in the name of love and kindness...what hypocrisy! If a 7 year old can see through this shit show why don't older, "wiser" people? No wonder I became an atheist.
