Great post. I'm a Christian, but I am not naive to think there aren't a lot of problems in the church. After all, they are people. I trust the scriptures more than the Pastor. Why can't you be a Christian and keep your own interpretation instead of ditching the whole church? They need more pragmatic thinkers like us to hold them accountable. And it sounds like you still believe in God...you just have a problem with the church. How does that not make you a Christian anymore?
