Quote by Fidel Castro, "The Economist", A
When I was a young boy, my father taught me that to be a good Catholic, I had to confess at church if I ever had impure thoughts about a girl. That very evening I had to rush to confess my sin. And the next night, and the next. After a week, I decided religion wasn't for me.

This continuous cycle of self-perceived sins led him to question and ultimately reject organized religion, as it did not align with his own understanding and beliefs. It highlights the impact of strict dogma and how a personal interpretation of religious teachings can shape an individual's spiritual journey.
