"I was born a "Wee Catholic", and as a baby baptized into it against my will. I showed my displeasure by biting the Priest's thumb regardless of the fact that, as I had no teeth, I could not draw blood. At the tender age of six I was bundled off to the Nuns for brainwashing. That was achieved with the aid of the cane. Two years later I was sent to a Roman Catholic College run by the dreaded Jesuit Fathers. They come third to the Christian Brothers and the Marist Brothers as sadists. Sunday mass, of course, was the "cross" I had to endure. I lasted 30 years until I could stand no more."
