My take on the modern suffering brought by the institution that's known as Church.
Take note, I'm not an atheist, but I never liked being forced into any form of worship or lifestyle, as I find no man should ever tell me how I'm supposed to live my life, or control it.
I've always thought the same as you, even being created in a christian family. I should follow the path I believe to be correct, not the path that a group thinks should force you to participate of. I sympathize with many points of many different religions (Islam, Christianity, Paganism, Satanism, so on) but never fully agree.
Brilliantly put. I always said I do believe all energy is the same God, it's how we choose to call it that starts different approaches. I nearly got stoned for that opinion before.
