The red velvet curtains provide privacy and speak to the washing away of sins as the repentant person leaves the booth. The solid oaken bench provides no comfort, and hurries the churchgoer along in their confession. Behind the sheer screen is the waiting priest. Ornate designs are carved into the side of the confessional. Above it is a painting, dulled by age, but still depicting Jesus' death and resurrection with resounding clarity.
Confessional, Inside Church

I am a churchgoer. I go to church. I talk to a lot of people and praise god.
Hello priest, I am here to confess my sins. I go to church every Sunday, I love God, but I have done wrong. It is ok my child, I will listen and together we can absolve your sins I have sinned. I stole a pack of gum from the grocery store. I just really needed something to chew so badly. Did you not have any money to pay for the gum? I did, but I needed it for the strip club. My child, is stealing the gum the only sin that you need to confess?  It sounds like there may be more. Well, I did accidentally kill a spider the other day. well accidents do happen, now lets get back to what happened at the store.  You said you had money to make the purchase but chose to not pay is that correct? Yes. I am so sorry. Will God forgive me?  God will forgive your sins my child but what can you do to make this situation better? How will you make things right with the store? I spent all my money at the club. I am so broke. I could mop their floors for them I suppose. I think mopping their floors would be a good start.  I also think it would be wise for you to speak with the store owner and apologize for your actions.
