I have a strong reflexive aversion to anything ritualistic. Even as a Christian, the ritualistic side weirded me out. I was much more comfortable with my "personal" cherry picked relationship. And I don't think I'm the only one. Going to church 1) was weird as hell and 2) made ignoring the feelings of inconsistency difficult. I would think, if you weren't brought up in it and told its good, you'd have a natural aversion to all that awkward hype. That's what it reminded me of- forced hype, like you'd see at a company meeting or one of those pyramid scheme conventions.
Although, I do love me some Santa! And all the amazing art; the cathedrals, the paintings, the music, but I would say that's just an appreciation of the art, as those things were never in my religious experience.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
