I grew up Catholic, now Southern Baptist. I never felt I needed to talk to a middle man when I could go straight to the Boss.

I remember when I was a Catholic, I wasn’t about to tell the priest what I really did, so I just reported “venial” type sins (when our school class had to go to confession together) and asked God directly for forgiveness. I haven’t been part of that cult for over 30 years now.
