when ever I step into a different church building for the first time and I don't instantaneously self-immolate, I know I have encountered yet another FALSE religion.

Interesting choice of word. Most people choose combust/ion.

Not just unworthy, but unable. Unable to form valid moral assessments. Unable to take care of yourself. The list goes on.

*decloak*

Not sure if it's been said, but no church is the big one for me. New England style Catholic services are dreary, tedious affairs. Lot's of psychological conditioning on display - from the architecture, to the militaristic-feeling services themselves that are far more about obedience than joy - it's just horrible all around. There's very little else I dislike more than church.
