They are all the same here, I still have my Faith. I just refuse to enable the wicked who are running and ruining the American Church. I send them no money and will not grace them with the temple that God has given me to live within here on earth.

I think you should go to church evey Sunday because God wants you to.

Remember what happened to the Naaman the Syrian general who had leprosy? He was told by God's prophet, Elisha, to bathe in the Jordan. He said "Hell no, we've got rivers in Damascus a lot better than your little sh!!!y little piddling Jordan." Or words to that effect.

But his servant said, "If you'd been told to do something tremendously difficult, wouldn't you have done it? So why not just dip yourself in the Jordan like the man said?"

He did, and he was cleansed.

The first thing, see, is getting over yourself.

I know this from experience.

You don't have to give them money, but you do have to give God yourself. By being there. Or finding some other parish that doesn't make you angry,

Just my two cents worth.
