My reluctance to bringing friends to church had nothing to do with the reality of God, our existence, morality, or salvation. I was embarrassed at the weird church culture that makes us look like weirdos. Why do we make up this stuff?

Ahhh, but we are in this world, but not of this world. Oh, I see. That gives us the license to look like idiot abassadors for Christ? Hmmm... It all makes sense now. [rolling eyes]
