Truthfully, I haven't run across a church yet that didn't do outrageous things that made my blood boil.
Last church I attended made excuses for behavior that would make Hugh Heffner blush.
And then straight faced stated that it was okay because the offended party wasn't a member of their particular belief system.

I was floored because basically they'd just said it was okay to do just about anything that would hurt your spouse or family and it'd be okay simply because they weren't members of that particular church.

Thankfully, I clamped my mouth shut and went outside before 'sploding.
This particular church likes to have people who dissent too much arrested.

I will never step foot through the doors of that particular church again, even if doing so would save my life.

Besides, in 'real life' I'm much more comfortable and at peace far away from people and out in the middle of nowhere in the woods.

When I moved here last year, I tried out several different churches with different denominations, plus several methodist churches, before I found this one that I was comfortable in. The pastor actually makes you feel good after a sermon and she really cares about the people there. And I haven't heard any contradictory statements from her - and I've been going there over 2 months now.
