What the? Where did you go? What church was this? I feel traumatized just reading this post. I know "sorry" isn't much, but it's all I can offer you, I'm so sorry you were attacked by the people of this church. Were they legalistic? Legalism...is terrible, it's a curse.
You can be as opinionated as you want to be with me. I'm a Christian and I love answering questions people have about the Lord. I do my best to answer them in the most loving way possible and to treat people how I'd like to be treated. I'm sad to hear this church made you feel like a bad person, and I'm also sorry to hear that you felt you had to "become like them" in order to fit in.
Jesus was not a people pleaser, therefore anyone who tells you or makes you think you need to be a people pleaser, is not following Jesus, they're making up their own rules for what God requires.
I hope you feel better.
