I am a christian. As I would like to believe all religions are correct and it all leads to the same place, that seems like the easy road out. An easy way of thinking of it so you dont have to stress or deal with things like Hell.
There is alot of corruption in churches. Everywhere for that matter. But you cant base your faith on what some bad, wrong, idiots say and do(which is most of the world, religion, faith nowadays).
I base my faith on the bible. It even says in the bible to question your leaders and question what you are being taught.
I hear these horror stories of churches where the pastor drives a porshe and a mercedes and lives in a mansion.
My pastor is the smartest man I know. He has a bussiness degree, a masters, and he went to college to become a pastor. He doesnt live in a mansion, he rents a house. He teaches what the bible says. He likes football, baby's favorite word is Dodgers, hes an ordinary guy who is also a great leader, a great man and an all around good guy.
EDIT: The biggest thing about MY religion and about what I believe is my personal relationship with God. I can sit here and say I will be in heaven when I die. I have no fear of death or what is to come after.
