I'm pretty angry with many aspects of Christianity too. I recently read a book called "Christianity, Patriarchy and Abuse" which made me a lot angrier, too. It is such a struggle to face that anger without saying "fuck you!" to everything and everyone who is Christian (including myself) -- thank you, goodbadgirl, for voicing what I couldn't say. Sometimes my justified anger with certain aspects of Christianity warps itself into an ugly self-hatred, because how can I respect and love myself, and be a Christian, if this evil stuff is what Christians do?
And thank you, Nabil, for listening and being willing to hear alternate points of view. I love that about you.
