i actually haven't been to church in years. i think i'd like to go back though. all churches are different. on the one hand, i agree wholeheartedly that checking your brain at the door and just accepting whatever you're told is bullshit. in fact, i believe that more than anything, you have to come to your own conclusions, and can't just believe whatever someone tells you, and that with anything in this life. on the other hand, i've known pastors that were wonderful fellows (my pastor's son and i were great friends and i used to hang with his fam.); he was the kind of man that i'd like to be someday; caring, hardworking, giving, and would do anything for his family.
