Guilt and Regret
15.

I can pinpoint
the exact moment
I realised Catholicism was bullshit.
Nicholson, deputy head
of my Catholic High School,
defined when a war
was a 'just' war
and defended the bombing of Dresden
and the Sack of Constantinople
as 'okay in God's book'
and I realised
what a load of crap that was.
and I abandoned religion for ever.
