As I mentioned a coupole of posts ago I've been experiencing a sort of spiritual malaise. For the past few years I've been becoming more and more disillusioned with Christianity or at more precisely the Christianity that I've been taught for so long and I've also been feeling a growing hatred for Christians. I've been coming to the conclusion that there is something fundamentally wrong with what we're taught as Christians as to what spirituality/life really is. Which leads to the fact that there is something fundamentally wrong with Christians. Please know that I am myself a Christian and place my self right in the group for which I've been feeling a growing hatred. I think you can see the growing difficulties. My hope is to start hashing out some of these things here on my blog.
I met a dude at church yesterday (about the 5th time I've been to church since coming home from Covenant College this past May) who seems to share some of the same struggles and thoughts that I've been having and I'm hoping to have a chance to talk more with him about this. For the time being he will remain nameless although I'm sure he wouldn't mind me using his name. I just haven't asked yet.
More to come.

I kinda know how you feel, though perhaps not to the same extent. recently i've become fed up with the fact that i've been treated far worse by most christians then by many non-christians. sorta pisses me off that so many people at covenant and my old church have a huge freaking double standard.
