you know i went through your hatred phase. i ventured away from christianity and saw how futile it all was and became angered becuse people actually believe this shit.. now i'm a lot more tolerant and a lot more accepting of ALL religions. i think all religions are a vehicle to the same path.. its just the details people are hung up over and fight about. i'm more pissed when certain religions teach intolerance.. so i try not to be that way. in any event this more peaceful attitude towards religion came when i immersed myself in eastern philosophy. buddhism/zen/taoism etc. i think you're just struggling with what you DON'T believe and need to find some sort of calm between the two. don't make religion a personal attack based on your own experiences... hatred is such a negative emotion. you've already established what you DON'T believe.. why not find something you do?
