Church...or the lack there-of

Well, this sunday was interesting, 1st, my dad and my
stepmom made me go to a lutheran church w/ them in the
morning! I went and i was good, i stood up and sat when i
was suposed to although i didnt participate in anything
(ex. scripture readings, singing, comunion) So it was a
compleate waste of my time! I felt as though i was in the
middle of a huge cult! Everyone was reading scriptures
together, and whoa! anyways--
i went to my youth for the 1st time in a long time
tonight too it was...well church. Although at times my church can be
very fun, i do not enjoy having ideas shoved down my throat. I am
fully convinced my youth paster means well but basically he tells us
thats its his way, or you go to hell. There are many things about
the bible that make me wonder...I fully belive in god, and i would
tell anyone who asked me that but i'm begining to belive that
organized religion is a bunch of bull shit! I think pastors,
preachers, revernds, and so fouth read too deeply into things. I
think that if god is really all he is said to be, loving him, and
asking forgiveness for you sins in enough.
My pastor was trying to tell us that you need to hang out w/
the "right croud" and a bunch of other bull shit to be "good
christians"! whos to say what the "right and wrong" crowds are? and
if no one hangs out w/ the "wrong" croud whos going to whitness to
them about god? yeah gottcha there! I'm in no way saying my friends
are what are considered to be the wrong croud, although they do
occasionally make bad decisions, who doesnt! i just think churches
try to put worthless lies into your head while getting your money!
I'm out!
*make love not war*
