First mam, you have to understand that everyone who confesses christ, is not of christ. There are many false prophets, preachers, and teachers in the land. I felt the same way before I came back to the Lord. I back slid at the age of 14. I studied different religions, I went out and sin & lived a life of confusion. I wasn't satified with the results I found in any of the other religions, so I then became a athies. I denied God, and anything he stood for. It was not until I was about to committ suiciede, had no one to turn to, or call on did I go back to the Lord. I mean I was in thousands of dollars of dept, I had a car that had just lost the entire engine, and I was not able to make it either of my jobs. My life was a complete disaster. I was a broke, bustard college student trying my best to make ends meet. I had no father to help me; only a mother who recieve SSI. I had no support system, no friends, and family who had my back. But in my time on need, and in despair that is why I found the Lord as my shelter, my comfort, and my refuge. The Lord said in his own word he will never leave us, nor will he forsake us. I was a person who had critize the Lord, use his name in vain, denied him, Gossisp about his people, studied witch-craft, and put other ideas & beliefs before him. I was a Blashphemiest, a liar, a fornicator, and a nasty pervert. I was truly a sinner, amoung sinners. If Jesus didn't like ugly, he would have never wash me his blood, and forgave me of all my sins. He would have never given me a second chance. I believe in god for what he has done. The Lord means more to me than a church building, a denomination, a pastor or prophet, a car, a house, a job, a college degree, a relationship ( I practice celibacy), and even my mother and father. He is my total support system. I can't convince you to come to the Lord, but what I can do is explain, and give you a reason why I serve him. When my back was against the wall he was all that I had to call on. He delivered me in my times of need of financial caous, and distability. I don't know what I would do without him, or how did I survive without out. I am sorry you feel this way, because the Lord is good. But, there are those who defame his name, and lie on him. Because of that, many never truly ever get to know him. The only thing I could leave you with is to ask the Lord to save you, and Baptize and Fill you up with the HOLYGHOST. Ask God to replace your mind with that of Christ, and get your own revelation of who he is. Read the bible for yourself, and the Lord will provide you an answer. A lot of the wars that were fought in his name, were not actually fought in his name. Man has wage war for centuries, and place the Lord as the blame. As far as biblical wars, they were fought to either defend, or release God's people for bondage!

P.S: I hope I haven't affended you, but I had to tell you the truth. There was a time when I felt the same way, but because of his Holyspirit, Grace, Mercy, Rightousness, and Holliness, I now know the diffence.
