I’m sick to death of Jesus. I feel that Jesus and Paris Hilton are both overexposed. I’ve seen enough of both of them. And I think I’m getting more atheist because of the way the country is getting more into Bible- thumping.
My parents sent me to Catholic school, which only made me the vehement militant atheist that I am today.
Have I gone too far?
