Very lapsed.

I've had sex before marriage.

I've had children out of wedlock.

I've had a couple of 'gay' encounters.

I masturbate.

I've lived the life of a lush.

Yep, I'm going to hell for sure...even if you only count the sins listed above.


Catholicism is losing ground here in Oz just as it seems to be pretty much everywhere. The whole thing is just so full of hypocrisy.

People are tending to go for the more 'relaxed' religions such as C of E and all those off shoots, although I have to say, I don't know one single person who goes to church regularly. Religion isn't a big part of life here. It's definitely something that drives the population as it seems to in a lot of ways in other countries.
