All of you church haters, obviously just haven't found the church that fits you. You cannot give up on church because of a stereotype you have come up with after visiting a few churches that were below your standards. There are churches out there that don't follow the rules that the "church" has laid down. There are many churches that are accepting of gays, and don't push their beliefs, they just want to befriend you; and if later down the road your interest grows in becoming a believer in the churches values then thats great! But it isn't the function of the church to give anyone a guilt trip, or frustrate people, in the long run turning them away from the church. Other churches have given church a bad connotation, you just have to find the church that fits.
