    I like when the gender changes what the noun is. Here are a couple Spanish examples: la cometa = the kite (feminine) or el cometa = the comet (masculine) la papa = the potato (feminine) or el papa = the Pope (masculine).

    Swahili has 18 genders, though only 16 are in active use.














  • Indoctrinate, verb: teach (a person or group) to accept a set of beliefs [uncritically].

    This is the wrong approach. Do not try to convince yourself to accept Catholicism uncritically. Be very critical.

    Read the whole bible critically. See if you don’t find it silly.

    Look at the priests. God can’t even stop his own spokesmen from raping kinds. That god seems pretty useless.

    Realize that that thousands of gods have been worshipped, you have been indoctrinated to believe that yours, one out of thousands, is the only real one. You are literally one god away from being atheist.

    It’s not anything to be afraid of. The realization that this life is important, and is the only one you get, is a fulfilling way to live. Be good because you are good, not because of threats of eternal punishment or reward.
