People have this tendency to think I'm Unitarian, or pagan, or some sort of liberal Protestant, and then they're surprised when I say I'm Catholic.
For what it's worth, I'm Catholic more out of inertia than anything else. There are an awful lot of things I really hate about Catholicism, but it's also something I've lived with for seventeen years and unless I find something better it's not worth rocking the boat here. Once I go to college, I think I'll loosen up and be more the way I am at alpha, simply because I won't have eleven (and in some cases seventeen) years worth of other people's expectations weighing me down, making me question myself.
