Thanks for bringing this up. I have been struggling in my faith as well. While I hold myself mostly to blame for my less than great faith, your thoughts (and the thoughts of others on this thread) enunciated my feelings on the role the church has played as well.

I was born, baptized and raised Methodist, but I never felt a connection to the church. Confirmation was a horror and I have been soured to the church since. I had attended services regularly for a couple years as an adult (at a different Methodist church), and again, I felt no connection. Christ and his teachings were not taught outside of the parable, and it just seemed like one big networking event instead of a religious one.

So again, thanks for bringing this up. I will read this thread with great interest. (mega-long self ping!)
