Honestly, I was down with Christianity until college. I'm not Catholic, but I attended a Catholic University. I was raised Lutheran.

College was a really good experience for me. I got a good education, made friends, and had fun. I still have good feelings about the school.

However, the hypocrisy of the conservative Catholic leaders of the university, and their cowardice in the face of a calm discussion of issues, led me to see that the Christianity I was taught to believe, while overwhelmingly positive, was not lived by most people who claimed to be Christian.

Edit: that was about 33 years ago.

I had similar experiences in Christian high school I was forced in to, and in discussions with my parents. It's pure blasphemy to have any intellectual discussions and not simply agree with what your leaders around you believe.

Weak move you should have started your own church adhering to the original Christian values and started a holy war.
