churches who are part of the right wing made politics the mainstay of the church as opposed to the actual message of Christianity the church in general signed it's death warrant.

I no longer attend church. My brother, who is a dedicated Christian, no longer attends church. My parents left a church over political issues.

I was raised Presbyterian. I later, for a short period of time, allowed myself to be sucked into a fundamentalist right wing church, and eventually walked away.

I feel adrift and have questions nobody wants to even discuss, much less offer answers to. The church left me first and when I realized it I walked away.

I don't quite know where I am spiritually right now but I'll figure it out and I'll do it without the help of religion. Man-made religions, IMO, suck.
