1. Many of the people who claim to be Christian.  I know just as many fucked up people who claim to be Christian as those who aren't.
2. The view of men and women and their roles.
3. THE OVER-RELIANCE ON FAITH!
4. The belief that Jesus is the one and only way into heaven.
I'm really trying to gain my faith back, but it isn't working at all! It is so strange that everytime I go to bible study or something, the more I want to run away from the religion!

Dionysus, I will be praying for you.
Funny you mentioned this, b/c my pastor has been doing an awesome series on faith and unbelief, which he started back in November, and will be continuing on over the next few months. PM me if you are interested in getting some tapes on this series, which I will send to you free of charge and postage paid.
In the meantime, have you considered seeking a church home with believers that walk the walk as well as talk the talk?
PM me if you want me to elaborate.
