Oh god, that sounds miserable. =P We had very nice retreats, other than the blatant hypocrisy that made me want to spork people's eyes out (uh, not really, I just use a lot of violent hyperbole in my speech, haha).
Yeah, I was raised Catholic, so now I am leaning toward saying I'm almost agnostic with a Catholic bent, I guess. In that, we should all be nice to eachother, and I think that the mysteries of life could very well be God's presence. I guess I have a lot of trouble with fundamentalism of any sort, but I have a LOT of respect for all the different religions in the world, because I think they each have different universal truths to each, and they all have something of value to say.
And I have to say, my workcamp definitely made for an intersting paper, too... I pretty much just said how I personally didn't have much of an experience because I felt that all my rule-ignoring peers totally ruined the spirit of it. Oh geez. I still feel bad for ranting in a paper but I'm glad I got it off my chest! Haha. As you can see I still kind of hold grudges... =P
