Sorry mate, I’m not a believer in anything, I may or may not cover my bases when the time comes, I was being flippant.
The ‘youngest’ made their first confession or ‘Reconciliation’ last year and I made a conscious decision that the moment was right for me also.
It was a good decision on my behalf. You’d feel a stone lighter after it.

When I was in first year in school, there was a young curate who saw himself as a fr trendy type. He’d be smoking cigarettes outside the youth club and knew who Blur and Oasis were. We had to do confession in school one day, and he just said to me “suppose it’s the usual…fighting with your sister and a few curses and lies?”. Haven’t been since
Id say there’s a lot more to this story

Why would you even consider “covering your bases” if you’re not a believer in anything? Seems illogical.

It was only a gag mate, I haven’t considered dying in reality,

So you admit you made the whole thing up? Thanks.

Keep in mind as well that an omniscient deity will know you that were just covering all bases with a death bed repentance and will consign you to the fires of hell.
Better off arguing your case for your lack of belief.

I cant remember the last time but I would have making up fake “sins” anyway: 
telling a “father” (which itself breaks a commandment) your wrong doings…I just dont get it. talk to a family member or a good mate
In 1982.
Bless me father for I have sinned.
Go on son tell me more
I lied 12 times since my last confession, I stole twice and I had impure thoughts 77 times.
Good man, is that all?
Yes father.
Say two Our Fathers and three Hail Marys.
Thanks Father.

No, no, no… I’d say hello and nod to plenty of fuckers who “may” have wronged me or one of mine while secretly half-hoping their cocks rot off them.
Mercifully this thought only recurs when I’d see the bastards.
