Christians who are disillusioned are lost.

Sadly, yes I am.
I know that religion here on Earth is controlled my man, mostly. I remind myself that because of that, there will me "man made" problems in every church.
When I open my heart to worship, and then sit next to someone who is using faith to hurt people and judge them, it hurts me to no end.
Some will say I am too sensitive, but in my work with children and as a parent to my own children, my sensitivity is my greatest asset. God gave me that as a gift -- its who I am.
Its better for me to read my Bible on my own, worship and study with friends and family I trust and check in with a pastor I know on my own every once in a while.
I wish it could be different, but I know the type of fellowship I long for will not be found on this side of Heaven.
In the meantime, I make love of all people the thing I strive for most.

There are many. There are many more who will not admit it.
I do not attend any church. I am one of those who worship in my way. God knows me, loves me and helps me whether I give money, get on my knees or do the hallelujah wave.

I'm one - organized religion is a little too full of contradictions and hypocrisies for me to be interested. I can live a Christian life without it.
