I'm sorry to hear that and forgive those who acted greedy :/. Being religious actually has been spiritually blinding people from connecting to God having a true encounter with God. By religious I mean ( omg did you see that!? He ate meat on Wednesday thats a sin :o) Everyone sins, no one is holy here on earth except the Lord! But don't get confused with, "Oh we can sin, it's okay!" no it is not okay. You have got to try to keep a righteous heart and mind and follow the lord, follow God, Jesus died on the cross so we can repent our sins, I even say sorry to God single night, because we sin everyday and you cannot avoid it (thats why us Christians have spiritual battles constantly)
We went from an honest, serious discussion about religions to the OP preaching how much we should love God.
OT: Athiest, I don't mind religion, but get pissed off when people try to push theirs onto you.
