I was raised Presbyterian but the reason all of the church going backfire was because I was forced to go to church. I also hated the members in the church because they were so evil imo. They were the most judgmental people I have ever met. I don't believe that going to church is mandatory. The only people that need to attend church are weak in their spirit/faith and need the help of others to lift them up.
I was born a Roman Catholic, raised as a Taoist/Buddhist but converted to a Charismatic

I don't think my churchmates were judgmental, only hypocritical

there's also too much American right-wing dogma seeping into Malaysian Protestant churches - anti-Islam, Creationism, which I don't quite like

I might be going back to my roots as a Catholic but I don't have high hopes for it
