[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up Catholic and attended an Episcopalian church for a few years as an adult.[b] It felt like a country club with communion thrown in once a week.[/b] I was originally drawn to it for its lack of extreme positions on anything, but it all just felt pretty bland after a while. Lots of rich old white people who live in the nicest neighborhood of a very segregated city trying by really hard to appear to care about contemporary social issues and happy to throw money at them, but ultimately just looking for opportunities to trade business cards under the guise of fellowship.

But that’s an isolated impression and obviously all Episcopalian churches are not like that. [/quote]

Yes, I agree.  A lot of phoning it in.  Going to church for the social aspect, and the sake of going, but nothing too deep.

I decided I didn't need a social gathering and stopped organized religion altogether.  I still believe in God, grew up Catholic (13 years Catholic school), then tried many other religions before scrapping church altogether.

As far as school goes, some people send their kids simply for the education, with a big emphasis on ignoring the religious aspect of education.  Parochial schools are more affordable private schools.[/quote]

You are right PP, but it’s pretty rude to send your child to a religious school and then insult their religion.[/quote]
