Same here brother. I've traveled all over the world and have seen many religions. In the US the Baptist talk about the Catholics, the Catholics talk about the Mormons, the Mormons talk about ...... You get the idea. A church is just a building and there are people that need a structured/orchestrated setting in order to feel better I guess but not me. Most churches I attended in the past were just a microcosm of society and had their own clicks, everyone was a good christian in their own minds.
My dad was of a religion that didn't believe in churches, the women didn't believe in cutting their hair and only wore dresses. They didn't believe in TV or jewelry. It was sort of a cross between a Quaker and a Mennonite I guess. They held services at members houses. When I was young we were out back shelling some peas under the pecan tree and he told me I should go to his church as they were the only ones going to heaven. Well you guessed it as I went off on him and let him know that only one person gets to make that decision and he was not that person.
My feeling is that as long as I live my life the best I can helping people along the way and ask the almighty for guidance and forgiveness I'm good to go.
