I go because it's a good environment to be in plus the highschool service they have is really fun. But ya, I guess it's all on opinion. It's rediculous to have people who are so crazed for the religion because again, it makes it easy to stereotype. What really pisses me off are people who make fun of the people who do believe in their religions. It's their own opinions i guess, but it's especially bad to have friends doing it too.
I don't really see how it's a 'brainwashed society' or whatever you called it though. I guess I've heard horror stories told from some Christian camps that friends went to. They said that they were trying to get them to 'wash their hands for God' and crazy stuff like that. I can see that as brainwash, but not all people are like that. The church I go to is pretty relaxed about stuff and you don't have to like dress up for church services and stuff unless you really want to. I guess it's more of a community where you can express your own feelings and get help and comfort with them by talking to people especially with small things like home problems or problems in school. Don't go on saying you could get a psych for that...It gives a little bit more. Like a sense of comfort and wanting to be a better person because it makes you feel like you have something more to live for. Like a better future ahead. I don't really know how to explain it though.
Maybe it's not for everybody, and that's something I can understand. I know that I have my doubts about it, thing that I can't explain, but it all end up making me happier once I do come back to it.

Skiing is not for the simple minded, that's why they invented the snowboard.
