Snake Oil
My Catholicism always gets aroused this time of year
All other practices pale & get put on hold
The Dalai Lama says one should study the religion of thy birth
When my mother went to the priest after I turned 18 and told her I would no longer be attending Sunday morning mass (after a night of heavy Saturday night drinking... I don't think so... sidenote: the year I turned 18 the state upped the drinking age to 21... that was evil and may or may not have saved my life however it did not prevent me from drinking)
According to my father, the Atheist, that was all I was required to do
The priest told her not to worry, that I would come back around someday... He said "They always come back around"
Mom, that man was not lying
