Honestly, I was down with Christianity until college. I’m not Catholic, but I attended a Catholic University. I was raised Lutheran.
College was a really good experience for me. I got a good education, made friends, and had fun. I still have good feelings about the school.
However, the hypocrisy of the conservative Catholic leaders of the university, and their cowardice in the face of a calm discussion of issues, led me to see that the Christianity I was taught to believe, while overwhelmingly positive, was not lived by most people who claimed to be Christian.
I get told to cut my hair all the time, I’m just like umm I seem to recall a pretty RIGHTEOUS guy with long locks, they think I mean Jesus, but I mean Samson LMAO.
I had similar experiences in Christian high school I was forced in to, and in discussions with my parents. It’s pure blasphemy to have any intellectual discussions and not simply agree with what your leaders around you believe.

Edit: that was about 33 years ago.
Weak move you should have started your own church adhering to the original Christian values and started a holy war.
