[quote=Anonymous]I used to attend a Christian church. Mostly would be classified as evangelical/Pentecostal. I’m not sure exactly what it was as I always get confused with all the denominations, non denominational etc I spent ages 14-22 attending because of my parents. I had an overall horrible experience. The typical: felt like I was constantly getting judged, pressured into things I didn’t want to do, more about pleasing man than God, hypocrisy by the pastor, deacons etc. I am much happier now that I stopped going. But I feel like everyone feels sorry for me as a “fallen” Christian. My mom hates the fact I stopped going. But I always felt like I gave away my teenage years to this church that had horrible leadership and worst of all we’re hypocrites. I had to be the perfect Christian girl since I was a Sunday school teacher and sang in the choir every Sunday.  I also started to question whether God exists or not, thinking why church was created (as a tool of social control), considering other religions like Judaism and even Buddhism as I feel they’re much more peaceful (correct me if I’m wrong)

I guess this is just a rant more than anything else. [/quote]
