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 work at the church, helping the priest. I am young and believe in god. I do not like those who do not love god.
Father, I am ashamed of my thoughts. Can't I just cast them to God? You can cast them to me and I, being God's servant, can relay it to him. Now what thoughts are you having?  I truly hate the non-believers, father. I know I should be kind and bring them to the lord but I just can't forgive their evil. I see.. This Holy Book says you must be accepting of non-believers. But in all honesty, I too have such thoughts...  I'm glad to know I am not alone. Here, you should read this tonight. If it were up to me, non-believers would be punished and heckled on the streets! Will this guide me back into the lord's loving light? Indeed it will, but only if you read it and truly believe the words. Otherwise the Lord will not forgive you.  I'll believe, father. I promise I will! Now look at this picture I made of you whilst you were confessing. Do you like it?  It's really quite good! Do you just do this all day? Sometimes. I usually just mutter words during confessionals whilst pursuing my true passion for painting!
