Worry not about the labels and titles, just come to know who we are. I remember leaving the Church with such a bad taste in my mouth. Went on a spiritual quest and found Spirit wherever I go. I had to know if they were wrong, so I entered the church and felt the Spirit present.
Personally I do not think church is bad, it is just limited in how far one can go to know All there Is. It is a personal journey we all must take.
Thanks for sharing your inner self Spyder! :)
