I am a Protestant in a Catholic RCIA class only to appease my fiance's parents, but I wish the priest would stop referring to my kind as "heretics."

I'll get right on it

I didn't realize it at the time, but my willingness to go streaking at a Christian school in the middle of the night was probably one of the strongest indicators that religion and I didn't have much time left together.

Every time my former pastor asks me when I'm going back to church, I make excuses and evade telling him I converted to Paganism.

If you read the shortest verse in the Bible and truly understand it, you don't need to read the rest of them.
