Church is definitely a cult. Living by a set of made up rules that come from a book. Ridiculous. Do what you want and as long as your not hurting anyone else, live how you wish.
I adopt the George Carlin theory on religion: God was made up by the ruling class centuries ago to keep the lower class under control. They told them that there is a big man who lives in the sky and will banish them if they do note dance to his tune. Absurd.
The concept of a god is for the weak. It is for people who cannot cope with the reality that is their pathetic life.
Kind of sad really.

Of course, nobody can prove the existence of the 'god' in which they worship so they must be false.
