The bishop basically said the church won&#8217;t consider me non-Catholic because I&#8217;m not converting to another religion, and asked me to call some priest to discuss why God is real. I briefly considered calling, but I&#8217;m just not willing [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skepticalmothering.com&#038;blog=28640447&#038;post=1508&#038;subd=skepticalmothering&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
