My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary by going back to the chapel we were married in and revisiting the restaurant from our first date.

I am one very lucky guy.

        I guarantee you’ve provided something of value. Either cash, donated items/food or your time.

        Everything connected to religion is designed to control your behavior.

          Any donated food was for foodbank drives. Is donating to the needy bad?

          Most of the time I just annoy the priests with questions and theories or pointing out mistakes made in the liturgy.

          And why do they need to control my behaviour - who is the individual scamming me?

                  They aren’t really. Just asking you to give backing to your position. You’re getting worked up. I’m guessing it’s probably a sensitive topic for you.

                  Not everyone has a bad experience in or with organized religions. Not everything about every church is broken. If you’re taking an absolutist position that they are, that’s as naive an approach as you are accusing them of.
