true
i asked myself your questions too, but the answer is not for the weak: the church is all shitty.
yet i do believe in God, and in Jesus too, sorry that i don't believe in the church
religion is abuse imo.
"Having the right intentions" is not enough.
You know, (attention: heavy example, but not exxagerated) a dad hitting his son half dead (or even, simply hitting him - I guess that's enough to make my point), may have "good intentions", the intentions to educate, to beware him of doing something maybe harmful (that he may have done) ever again. But - intentions are meaningless, if the action is harmful.
Intentions make people blind to what they actually DO. People are so intentious. They intend A and do B.
Make up your mind, you don't need a priest or a guru or someone else to think your shit for you.
If they tell you the sun is beautiful, you may believe them. You may see others looking into the sun and from their faces, you can tell "it probably is true - the sun IS beautiful".. but until you've not seen the sun for yourself, it has no worth. It's belief, it's assuming, it's not worth cakes. And even if everyone else sees the sun as how beautiful it is, it is STILL not YOUR reality. And vice versa, just because noone is sein the beauty of the sun doesn't mean you can't.
Apply this to everything. To everything you've been told, and everything you've blindly chosen to believe. (See, blindly chosen - it's always a choice, even tho blind, it's in your own responsibility).
You know, even missionaires (of any religion or whatever) may have best intentions, but..
Get my point.
If jesus was alive today, he'd riot against church (in whatever form) as much as he did against authorities back then.
Authorities - someone telling you how to do or think your shit - are never good.
Tell this your mother, also. And hell, beware your children of yourself. Of yourself as authority.
