I am getting really sick of Catholics. I am one, but I'm still sick of them and it's making me dislike my religion. Some Mormons I know seem pretty ex-mormon at heart, but they stay because they consider themselves Social Mormons because they like the social aspect of their religion. I did not like the social aspect of Mormonism at all and I'm a social person. I guess it's like the phrase, "Don't eat where you shit". I don't like to socialize where I go to worship. I just think religious people are for the most part so pious. I really miss being an atheist, because as an atheist, I seemed to be surrounded by all atheist people. I have since moved a couple of times, so am far away from all of my atheist friends. I also am in the Mountain West now, so there are fewer atheist, but I really seem to be surrounded by all religious zealots now! I'm starting to develop closer relationships and friendships with Catholics and am even dating a Catholic now and the homogeneous aspect of it all is driving me crazy. The Catholics really seem to act like the Mormons I knew/know in a lot of aspects. I wasn't expecting this. I guess I only knew two Catholics before I converted and both were guys I had sex with, so they were no zealots, for sure. I just need to hear some voices of reason. Am I wrong for starting to dislike a religion that brought me happiness because the people are starting to bug me? Is there a difference between a religion and its people? I like the theology, but not necessarily the attitudes of the people. Any thoughts? (By the way, I know I'm being snobby. This has just been bugging me a lot lately and have found myself skipping mass because I'm just so Catholiced out by simply being around Catholics. I have such a bad taste in my mouth).
