A way of thinking centered around rules and restrictions created by an unseen entity who is said to have unimaginable power. This is a philosophy based on fear. One's fear of contempt causes an individual to behave in a desired and dictated fashion. This "desired" way of life is dictated by mortals, men and women, people who should have no authority on propriety. Those that are needy, or find themselves in a rut, or a slump of sort, commonly gravitate toward this institution searching for a crutch to help curb the bitterness of reality, to give them an out. These people are known as "Christians." These Christians feel that by decieving themselves into believing that there is a higher power, a reason to it all, and that there is someone out there who will, after all is said and done,love them, they should reach some sort of peace with themselves and the world around them. Unfortunately, no peace is ever attained. Doubt constantly plagues their minds, causing them to delve deeper into this pretend world of promised deliverance. This is an organization where the lost, weary, and broken can congregate to collectively search through practicing preordained ceremonies said to
bring one closer to this "higher power." All of which is conducted in vain, because what they ultimately seek is their shared thirst for acceptance.

I can see where you are coming from. I have seen many people who use church as a way out. And, I will agree to the aspect the churches make you feel welcome. They should. That is their job. If they didn't people would just complain saying "Well the followers of Jesus won't even accept him, how dare they?"

Your basically collecting all Christians as a whole and saying they are mindlessly and serve a higher being to which they have never seen. How could they? The reason is simple. We are not mindless. Well, some of us aren't. I have done my research and still found myself back in the Christian brainwash. I am not saying it is for everybody. Some people really have a problem with admitting that they aren't the highest being in the world. I can see why. I too like thinking I am something special, but I do realize that someone more advanced then me had to make the universe, I couldn't do it.
