To the OP, I had a very similar experience about a month ago. I walked out of the church really pissed off. I had to sit there quietly while the youngest, the ones who are DEFENSELESS, and the elderly, the ones closest to death, praised a being that doesn't exist. Not only that, I had to listen to them bad mouth science and the progress they take for granted with every waking moment. It was revolting, seriously, I almost got so pissed at one point I was going to get up and walk out, to hell with being respectful.

People should work on being honest with each other, but most importantly, be honest with yourself.

That is exactly how I felt except I didn't walk out since he chose to sit in the front row. I just stared at the minister with a stone cold face and crossed my arms and did not move pretty much the whole time. I didn't participate in any thing, but I still thought I should of been respectful and be the better person and so I actually sat and listened.

I give you props for walking out, it's just too much sometimes. They made the human race out to be so terrible and pretty much throw the whole guilt trip on everyone.

My lips were shaking I was so pissed but I had no clue what to say since I was so overwhelmed with everything going on around me. It felt so unnatural and just so demeaning. I'm not one to throw everyone in the same category since I know some people who are alright Christians but too many of them especially in this particular church I know personally who aren't showing christ threw their actions which is what they all say they have to do. Too many of them worry about image before what is right and lie and put up fronts in order to save images.

Honesty is the key.

I don't make many post , in fact I think i've made maybe 2-3 other post. Not cause I don't want too, Just i'm picky about the subjects to talk about for obvious reasons. I understand where some of you come from. And I respect most of you peoples views. I just wanna say this though. Its funny how people will pray to "God" when there in a time of need. And to often forget about God when everything is going great. I'm a Father of 3. I'm in my mid 30's. My youngest daughter at 2 months old contracted Bacterial Meningitis, she spent nearly 8 months in the hospital. And to make matters worse, I threatened to kill a nurse in the hospital because of lack of communication to what was wrong with my daughter. And when I thought it couldn't get worse. The hospital called Children Services and had me arrested (and removed) for neglect and verbal assault, while I was being arrested. Children Services was at my house taking my oldest daughter away from my wife and I. They claimed, we neglected her and allowed her to get sick. I don't want to go into specifics. I would never wish this on my worse enemy. We fault with every thing we had, including money. (I quite smoking weed for nearly 2 years).And at times it seamed that it was pointless to continue to fight. But we did, with the help of a great lawyer and great doctors , we ended up getting our kids back. And as fate would have it, the real reason why my daughter became so sick was revealed...She has a rare disease called Elhor-Danlos Syndrom, and Marfans Syndrom.

Because of her lowered immune system a simple cold fucked her up. That was nearly 6 years ago.It took it us 2 years to get or kids back. When All this first happened I went into like a shock. I couldn't talk for weeks because of the pain and anger. And I couldn't sleep. So I would sit up reading law and health books, and as I sat in my misery, I could hear my wife in our bedroom crying her self to sleep night to night, for months and months. And I broke down and prayed to what ever there was above, And I asked God for change, to have my kids back, my daughter well, but most of all to remove the pain and hurt from my beautiful wife. She of all people never deserved this kind of pain. Some of you will read this and say stuff like this could have been fate,or you had good doctors, blah blah blah,I dont really care what the fuck you call it...I call it divine intervention. I seen death in my daughters eyes, in fact the doctors told us if we had waited just 1 more hour...she would have been dead.

I haven't stopped praying since, And Im on my knees very sunday praising God for giving my daughter and my family a second chance. And my daughter is very healthy for know, and my life is great. Theres not a better feeling then to be vindicated. If any of you have ever dealt with Children Services, then you know, they are soulless bastards from hell, and if you have any pride you'll be destroyed. If you need proof of God, Fall in love, Get married,Have kids (that you love), Then have them taken away for no reason... If you have a conscious I would bet you fall to your knees and pray to what ever you believe God is.
That is a great story and thank you for sharing. I have no clue what it would been like to go through all that. I believe there is a God or a higher being, I just don't buy into the whole man made guilt trip people put on. Not all but a few people use religion to their personal advantage. I had a few buddies who I had been friends with through high school, and one of them since grade 1. We all worked at the same place and we decided to pitch in for a van and go on a road trip. Well we bought the van but things didn't turn out as planned.

While we worked we used the van to drive to a different plant everyday which was about an hour drive both ways. So we all took turns paying for gas knowing that the business would repay us for it. Well we all made the big mistake of not writing anything down, but it was still pretty equal since we all took turns. Anyways when the day came that our boss paid us back 2 of the guys decided to take the cheque themselves and split it up how they thought was fair. Well funny thing was they both got the most out of the money that was given to all four of us and the other guy and I got fucked over. I didn't hesitate to call them on it and tell them how sleezey and cheap that was. They all just said nope deal is done it was fair. Anyways after a couple months of noticing how they were acting weird around me and shit and all secretive they go vacation for a month so they let me use the van to go to work everyday since I decided to work. When they came back they made the conclusion that i should of paid for all the insurance for that month, yet they still used it during the month, just not as much, but I paid for all the gas I needed. Again another sleezy trick trying to get more money out of me, and I called it on them also to hear more denials. So with everyone else in the group that we chilled with thinking I was crazy I still stuck around for a bit. When it came to sell the thing I put in 30 dollars gas in knowing sometime in the future they would forget about it and ask me to help pitch in for gas when they took it to the mechanic. Well low and behold (however you say it) a couple weeks later I get a text saying that exact thing. They wanted gas money. I said no I put gas in. They fought so hard and accused me of lying over the damn text message so I left work went home grabbed the receipt and proved it. Than they go about changing the story four times. So that was proof enough me and told them all to fuck off.

Anyways my point was, the 1 person that was doing the scheming and that has been my buddy since grade 1 has been an avid church goer since he was little. Everyone saw him as the angel. Fuck that. He chose money over what I thought was a good friendship. I still see him today and his life is great I guess. It makes me sick how people can do this and get away with it because they are forgiven. Maybe I'm just out for revenge.
