I'm not religious. I was raised Catholic, was baptised, but never studied the Bible and only went to Church once in awhile. Part of my dislike for the church, or at leat my sister and brother in law's church, is the way those people act. They started going because my b-i-l had affairs and finally got caught when he was out of town for work and got arrested for picking up a prostitute who was an under cover police officer! I forget how long it was after that that he started the whole church stuff. So all they do now is go to church. He wants to become a Deacon. They go to these retreats. But, they are always fighting. My nephew ran away for 3 weeks! and they didn't call the police. He's only 15! All they said was "I'll leave it up to God and pray." And my sister told my oldest brother once that she didn't love my nephew anymore. Another time, my sister was having trouble breathing and her chest was hurting, so she was in the hospital. When my mom and sister-in-law got there, there was already one of thier church friends there. And everytime my mom and s-i-l talked, that friend would cover my sister's ears and make like a shushing noise. My b-i-l then told my mom and sister to leave but the friend was staying. He told my mom something like "don't be ignorant". It' just that a lot of religious people that I have met are hypocrites and very judgemental.

Damn, that sounds like something on Jerry Springer.
