Nothing wrong with a questioning nature in church, imho. If there's something wrong with it, then I need to get out, I guess.

All kidding aside, I do respect everyone's right to believe what they believe. Who the heck am I to think I can tell someone else what to think? All I know is that God (not church) kept me from killing myself, andthe good people in that church who loved me, just as I was, helped a lot.
