			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I don&#8217;t usually like to talk about my life (especially the negative aspects of it &#8212; people judge you too quickly if you do), but since this blog receives practically no hits, I don&#8217;t have any issues discussing it. My parents don&#8217;t read this, so I don&#8217;t see why I can&#8217;t speak my mind. I usually don&#8217;t speak my mind with them, because I can predict exactly what they&#8217;re going to say. </p>
<p>Anyway,  as of now, I have no emotional or spiritual connection God, or anything related to Him. Quite simply, I feel no guilt when I sin. For instance, if I robbed a store right now, got ridiculously high, and cussed my parents out, I really wouldn&#8217;t feel bad about it. Even if I engaged in compulsive masturbatory habits, I wouldn&#8217;t feel ashamed. I just don&#8217;t care anymore, and I don&#8217;t really know why. A few months ago, my dad confronted me about my disregard for &#8220;divine authority&#8221;, and stated that &#8220;my problems go way passed psychological&#8221; and that I was &#8220;spiritually dead.&#8221; Um, no shit.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t believe in God, or that I hate Him, I simply don&#8217;t care. Dad even went as far as to say that I was going to hell if I did not change my ways. I don&#8217;t disagree with him, I just don&#8217;t care. Obviously, I must not be comprehending the gravity of the situation. o_O</p>
<p>Frequent stops at confession, Mass, and various Catholic youth activities haven&#8217;t had an impact on me at all. I&#8217;m beginning to despise going to Catholic youth groups because I feel out of place. I just simply don&#8217;t fit in, mainly because they live their faith, and I don&#8217;t. </p>
<p>Eh, it&#8217;s probably only a stage. I&#8217;m sure many people go through this.    </p>
