Oddly enough, I was the one who did church work. My mother was too falsely humble ("I'm not worthy, and neither is that awful Mrs. Sheerin! She shouldn't be allowed to be seen in the church hall with her language! (pauses for breath) Get in here you rotten little bastard! You're supper's cold and I'm not your goddamned slave!")and my dad got nervous in crowds. He should have been more nervous at home. (cue rim shot)
For 4 years of high school I was teacher's assistant in the CCD for developmentally disabled kids. I let them read Treasure Chest (a Christian comic book)on the days I led the class by myself. Or we'd sing and put on funny little skits completely unrelated to whatever verse I was supposed to be teaching.
And, thanks, Answers.com for the following definition of CCD (which I did not know): The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine was an association established in 1562 in Rome for the purpose of providing religious education. In its more modern usage, CCD is the religious teaching program of the Catholic Church.
When I graduated HS I left the church -- complete with my own 'self-excommunication' ceremony. Since the Pope didn't have the balls to oust me I had to do it myself.
