"How can you hate the Church if its teachings are so wholesome?

"It only teaches that you are an enemy to God, worth less than the dust of the earth, and that you cannot escape eternal punishment unless you accept that a blood sacrifice was made on your behalf and you spend the rest of your life doing exactly as we say. Oh don't worry, it will all be worth it after you finally die."

It blows my mind that I used to actually agree with this.

The greatest grift. You promise your whole life/time/talents and tons of money, to the church itself. The reward is only given after death, but not by the church (which you gave everything to). The church gets it all, and gives you nothing. You just have to hope that lies are true and that God really will reward you.

It justifies absolute misery here on earth. Earthly suffering doesn't matter, since the afterlife is all that matters.
