3. My "anti-conversion" story

Feb 2018

I was taught in Catholic school that one person could live a good life and commit a mortal sin just before death -- eternal damnation and torture. Another person, even a Hitler, could lead a life of depravity and evil but if they made a genuine confession and swore just before death never to sin again all would be forgiven and they would spend eternity in heaven.
I figured that was no way run a universe. Once I realized that I was more rational and more merciful than god, the rest of the package was too ridiculous to accept.
