My experience with religion is such that I'm sure it really should make me run screaming at even the very mention of it. I've been spiritually abused, tortured in fact, to the extent that many years later I still hold much of the hurt.
Astoundingly I still find my mind directed towards the though patterns and longings that I experienced and felt during the heights (depths) of my religious period. As much as I hate the church I still feel that it holds answers for me. I don`t know if this is just a result of my upbringing, a result of a higher power consistently drawing me towards him or my Mother`s unfailing prayers but there`s something there. I just wish I would find answers that satisfied me. Something that didn`t cause more hurt but rather that lifted me out of it.

Start listening to stuff from churches that are actually interesting and intelligent. My brother's church for example has its sermons online and they are often fantastic. And this is me saying this!
