Dude, I totally 100% understand where you are coming from, and I was at the same point a while back. The thing is you can't look at man cuz they screw up all the time, you have to look straight to God, cuz thats the only thing that is consistent. Alot of churches (especially catholic) teach rules, do this, don't do that demand this from you, and they do this because they can control you, but by the grace of God we can be free from the rules and free from relgion to serve Him as is ment to be. Don't give up on Christ because of bad expirences I've been through my share as well. Come out to the Free show May 9th in the basement of the country and town church, You can see what happens when kids stop living a religion and serve God cuz they want to. Don't turn your back on God cuz He never turned his back on you, even when your wrong.
