    Is this like some ex-Catholic atheists I’ve met who try to find a way to get the Catholic Church to excommunicate them?

    Because it seems like it would be just as big a waste of time even if you could do it, which you can’t.

        I don’t doubt it, but it still seems like a waste of time if you don’t believe in its legitimacy in the first place.

        I guess some people need catharsis.

          Yup, the whole “you have no legitimacy, except for the legitimacy which I grant you and fear, because I reject it for not existing”
