What ruined Religion for you?

For me? My Father was a traveling Evangelist and musician. I would tour with him for months at a time, going from Church to Church. Selling his gear from a table in the back of the sanctuary before & after his ‘sermons’.

He lived a very “Rockstar” lifestyle, with all the spoils, yet would preach repentance, lead people to Christ and gather offerings, which only went to fuel the lifestyle. Not to mention the hypocrisy of the church ‘elders’, at nearly every church I visited across the world.

I could go on for days with stories but I gather anyone who knows anything about Evangelists, understands what pushed me away from religion.
