I appreciate that you did not come back with some asnine defense of the obvious.
I know they're fucked up and I know there's a lot of bad people that belong to the church. Three of my old priests were homosexuals and when finding that out I was devastated. We looked up to those motherfuckers. Christ even one of the nuns was a lesbian. The church needs help thats for dang sure.
There are beautiful things that the church does but it's more on a localized level so I've found over the years. The whole pomp and circumstance wizard and warlock outfits and double meanings for everything is tiring and it's confusing and and distracting from the real message.
>and distracting from the real message.
Don't start rationalizing now. What it's distracting from is their criminal pedophilic activity.
I'm not giving them a pass. I was just saying the real message of why people still go. They celebrate together worshiping God. And it is horrible that they do it in front of a guy who wears a dress and wants to have sex with children. Thinking about it this way just makes it seem fucking retarded to be honest.
Somebody on here a year or so ago said there's no reason to check in and do ritual to touch base with God. And that's kind of how I mostly roll. I do like to go to shrines, I feel like they're concentration centers of good intentions. Regardless of how the intentions are offered I still think people go to them with an uplifted heart and sincerity.
