When I was younger I would often have trouble believing in Catholicism but occasionally I would take it very seriously. I remember very clearly that I said that I wanted to go to confession as much as possible when I was getting ready for my first confession. At my second confession I had the balls to walk in and do it face to face. Just imagine an eight year old boy walking in and telling the priest his sins then walking out after the priest says some magic words. That was me back then.
Strangely enough that was the last time I had a confession experience that was easy to get over with. Every other time was miserable. In fact I would avoid it as much as possible. As if my gut feeling was telling me it was wrong. Confession is mentally not good for a kid to deal with.
I fought my atheist friend back in high school. Now that I look back at it, I feel terrible and stupid.
