Back in the early eighties the church atmosphere had a different feel to, more peaceful and more spiritual. And for years this continued. The denomination I belong to was full gospel at the time which is one of many so called evangelical churches that are group together with a bunch of other evangelicals.
About the late 80's the flavor was changing to a more of a right wing influence services began to be peppered with republican propaganda. The last time I went to church was a few years ago it is now the free platform for the Republican party. No longer did services feel spiritual but pig headed, one sided and politically charged.
I felt like I was being smothered by a philosophy not a spiritual directive. Conservative growing up amongst liberals I was now slowly starting to lean to the left tilting more left. Tired of the opinions these people made against other people and other peoples right to have a minds of their own. It soon got to to the point that if you were a Christian than you were a Republican.
Something in my spirit knew that this is idolatry the church is no longer a church but has prostituted itself to the Republican party.
Today this is where I stand in my faith. I have absolutely no faith in the church or at least the evangelical wing of it. Nor do I care to go back to my Catholic roots due to the pedophile priest. I now declare myself churchless not to ever belong to a organization ever again.
Any one else feel like they have been dis-in franchised?
