I'm sorry. That is not my intent.
For what it's worth I'm leaving a church of my own at this time as well but I don't have as much time in with them as you do with your church. I'm leaving the SDA for their false doctrines and plagiarism of Ellen White who they consider a prophet.
I'm not trying to throw stones and I shouldn't have spoken as strongly as I did. Every church is corrupt, as far as I can tell.
Please understand I am not trying to alienate you or ridicule you.
I appreciate your honesty. You have to understand that I've been attacked multiple times on this very site because of my strong Catholic faith, and the resentment against Catholics specifically, and no other denomination, is extremely troubling and, to be honest, scary. This has happened so much over the course of my life, not just on this site but elsewhere too, that I've had to become defensive.
I apologize if I sounded angry and bitter, but to be honest I AM, because I'm sick of being attacked for misguided notions from others.
A month ago I would have attacked you just as others do today. When a person sees corruption in his own sphere it humbles him.
Everyone wants to think himself superior to his brothers in some way, and in that thinking he forsakes his brothers and turns them into adversaries.
We've all been fed false narratives contrived to feed our need to feel superior to each other, or to make us feel inferior. Our school history classes, churches, athletes, media talking heads, politicians, etc. flatter and degrade us as they feel they must to manipulate us to serve them. We, all of us, have lies we need to unlearn.
The only thing most of share is the root of a common faith. We need to preserve that and reject those who seek to divide us.
