To be honest with you, I find it far more refreshing and enlightening to read the Bible, and passages from it, without going to church and having people tell me what I aM reading. I know what I am reading, and don't need people to tell me if I eat meat on a Friday (as an example of course), that I have committed a sin.

We as people commit many more serious sins we should focus on rather than breaking man-made rules with no real substance.


To me, the person who screws others as a course of practice in business is far far worse than someone who misses mass but is an otherweise decent person.

Gotcha and I agree.


So what are you so angry about?

We agree here. The only point I'm making is that not every church is bad and it makes it much easier for a man to reach his potential in Christ if he can find a good church family.
