Hi,
Thanks a lot for this reflection. I was raised Catholic and because of my own initiative became more and more involved. Currently I am not practicing and I am not a believer. Guilt! It is so planted in our brain! It is something that Culture cultivates in us and then Religion reinforces. We know it is useless, but we cannot help. It is in our bones and unconsciously gains our will. But, practicing we get rid of it, at least, to the majority of it.
