I do pray to the creator daily, and have a close relationship with him/her/it. I do not attend church because I have experienced the hypocrisy and "are better than thou" attitudes from dedicated church goers. I read the book myself and realize that the majority of church goers are fools that think they are better than those that do not go. And Jesus will say, "Go away, you are not mine! I do not know you!" Dedicated church goers are so ignorant that they blindly follow the ways of the blind preachers whom follow the ways of the high priests and "supreme church" above them that change the times and the laws. I do not worship idols or graven images because I understand what those commandments mean. I also believe the mark of the beast isnt coming in the future, it's already here. But I am not perfect....I am a sinner and I am humble, and admit it. However, once I know something is wrong or a sin, I do not do it again repeatedly as the foolish church goers do. "Hypocrites! First get the board out of your own eye, then you can see well enough to help your brother remove the speck in his eye.
