Once again, well said Rubi, I am in complete agreement, although I do attend church services, as I have found ones that I am comfortable with, which keep things relatively apolitical, and upbeat. I don't look at the pastors as someone to surrender to, but rather someone who has studied and is a good educator and interesting speaker, nothing more, nothing less.
