I had a friend awhile back “leave Christianity,” essentially
the same way Ronald Regan left the democratic party. I must say that recently I’ve
come to agree with this sentiment, I have not left church, the church has left
me. In almost every aspect: the God I hear
described in churches is not a god I want to serve, the purpose of church, interaction with
non-church goers, interaction with other church goers, the egocentric versions
of the gospel that leaves few if any reciprocating interests in individuals, the
disconnect between thought and actions, the divorce of theology from reality.
There are many who say that I have left the church, but I have not left the
church the church has left me.
