The church to anything positive, it was merely a vessel for other facets it had homogenized into a power nexus (my early awareness of this led to many punishments from an early age, thus confirming the invalidity and erasing the nostalgia value). Many others do not have an experience that rough, and I am glad that those that didn’t suffer from it were able to remain happy with their situation even if it evolved or they ended up departing from their church or religion.
