One of the many reasons I dropped out of Catholicism was the whole concept of confessional. I never felt that I had done anything wrong, certainly nothing that a forgiving god would hold a child's feet to the fire for, so the whole canard seemed forced and affected.

I reasoned, god knew what I'd been up to anyway, and he knew what was in my heart, therefore knowing whether I really was repentant, so why get some priest involved in the deal?
