Irresponsible statements can be redacted, and retracted. Irresponsible choices – like letting the church determine what to do with your life – cannot be undone.

The church does not rule my life, I'm guided by God to do His will which I do willingly, most of the time. My life is a good one with no regrets in my spiritual life,except where I have not followed God as I should have. Why would I want to undo anything God has done for me or required of me, that would be foolish.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Yes it does. The church is where the whole concept of a Xtian God was indelibly brainwashed into you. By way of the bible. Which was written by the church. Which is a product of the church.

You cannot separate god and Church. Quoting from TheAmazingAtheist on Youtube, its like separating Coke and Soda.You cannot say that I like Coke but I dislike Soda. Coke is Soda! The two are inseparable. So is Church and the Christian God.

Excuse me? Are you making the case for the (Roman Catholic holy mother) church being divine itself?
Isn't the pope's infallibility enough?

Again I am misquoted. Why do I bother to post when all you read is the last three words? I did not say any of that with Anger, however it's completely dishonest of you to say GC was proven wrong when he clearly wasn't. You know this and you should be ashamed. If you truly have the truth on your side then you don't need to refer to such tactics.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Funny thing when I was a kid we called a fruit flavored drink a soda, a coke was coke or pepsi, and a pop or cola was a r/c. So the point you're trying to make does not fly for me.
I and all church members operate within the church, but with God as our guide, it's God who is our life not the church. We worship God not the church.

Give me your proof as to how I live my life.

"We worship God not the church."

How exactly do I do that? You say theists get mad when someone refutes their claims with good rational arguements. What arguement have you presented? And how exactly did you refute it?
