Beats me why anyone would want anything else, especially christians. They have total freedom under their noses, and then proceed to pick out commandments never given to them and make rules based on anything and everything. As if God can't see your heart through your clothes and politics and traditions. As if there is anything left to do when Jesus said "it is finished." As if my efforts would be any good to God. As if a ritual would please Him. As if GOD is so unable to guide me that I not only need to look after myself, but have others do it too. As if we need rules to live by instead of love.
I've been a slave to religion myself, and I'm not going back.
