Church.

"The perfect church service, would be one we were almost unaware of. Our attention would have been on God."

Church. Church. Church
You manage to contain such polar opposition.
I will speak about you as someone who has hurt me. Although, I know it was never you.
You have provided so many bad ideas of what it truly means to love God and God's love, But you have opened the doors for everyone to walk in and feel somewhat welcomed.
You have taught us all the stories of the Bible, yet we still have a hard time answering the simple questions of, "Why?" and "How?" Ex: "Why do you love God?","Why are you a Christian?"," How do you know God exist?"
You are responsible for the kids who grew up in you and act judgmental to the man that doesn't look like them, smell like them, use the same vocabulary as them, or believe the same as them. They will miss out on beautiful opportunities to learn and realized that they don't know everything and they simply do not "have it all together."
Bravo, you have taught people from a very early age how to smile when they hate the person they are grinning to. You have taught them how to very strategically speak with such envy and malice words, but don't stress because they will never say it to their face so no harm will take place.
When someone is honest about how they feel they will quickly be labeled, rude, or a whore.
They will raise their hands to God, and screw each other before 10 o'clock. They will go to sleep early and look well represented the next day. So no need to be concerned. They will smoke a jane before the service takes place, and then either laugh or pray for the new girl who is stoned.
However, you have allowed a great presence to enter you, when we are far from deserving it.
I probably shouldn't post this.
Pray that the skepticism leaves my mind, bones, and Spirit
