I'm struggling, but since the movie I'm pretty sure that I don't want to be a member of a doctrine, which spreads suffering and fear, I will like to believe in future, happiness and the strenght of humans in doing good in future times.
I'm not willing, to get me scared, to be a better believer.
I want to get my life going on without fear of hell or other threats.
I'm just a very normal person,living by the rules (10 commandments), that's my Religion, my way of living, trying to follow these ethic laws.
You might not like it, but I thought I can tell some people, that there is a way not watching the movie and be a good decent person anyway.

I am not a member of any church. My early training was Protestant, however I have never found a church to be comfortable.
The movie did for me what no church has ever done.
I now have a much more personal relationship with Jesus.
I still have no plans to attend a chuch however. That did not change and I am quite satisfied with that.
From my readings of scripture, church was never the most important element of faith. It was more a part of community.(still is IMO)
