But it wasn't because of this scandal. I just could no longer believe in made up bullshit.

Some people may be outraged at the church, but they still believe in made up bullshit. Rapes by priests does not prove that god doesn't exist.

When I think back on all that crap I learned in parochial school, I realize my mind was raped. I recovered, but there are many who are still victims.
