i know of a lot of people at the church i used to go to all got divorced for cheating on their wives and shit then tried to compensate for their mistakes by paying a lot of money a week to the church at offering. either they were paying to get out of sins or they were trying to change their lives around- funny part is they went to church every week even when they were cheating on their wives...
i dont feel (personally) that one should have to contribute any income to a religious organization and it is fine to believe your beliefs at your own place, on your own time... i dont believe we should have a "holy day of worship" on sunday. it shuts down our economy for 1 day here in the town i live in (a mostly christian town) all the stores close...
i dont like the negative atmosphere at churches talking about how bad the wars are, how bad it is people are dieing, how bad our world is becoming, how many people are sinning, how the end of the world is coming... some of it is total BS and needs to occur for a world to work.
it is like the churches around here are using fear to change peoples' lives when, in fact, i hate the propaganda technique of fear to change or sway peoples' minds in any decision.
