Well it is no worse than talking to an actual priest who has absolutely zero training in psychology or counseling and is under zero legal obligations to keep your personal information private.If you want to "confess" go to a f**king counselor or psychologist who can actually help you with your problems via a rational process (rather than hearing "god or the devil did it").
