Two of you mentioned "them". I assume you are thinking I am saying that I hate the adherents of orthodox religion. No, but I have met some that I strongly disliked. It is the orthodox religion itself that I find stupid and disgusting. I could site reasons for my hatred of it, but that would only be to insite further attacks on me, despite my plea and my warning. If you think you religion truly is based on love, why not practice it? As for hypocritical, maybe you ought to look it up. I am NOT pretending to be part of the religion I said I hate. Could be true that hating anything may be a waste of energy.
I didn't say you did, but the fellow who suggested I was interested in banging altar boys did seem very offensive, as noted.
If I was to give specific reasons for my feelings, I feel that would be asking for trouble. I could give them, starting with the hypocrisy of so many adherents. Jesus said that to be his disciple one must hate their father and mother, brother and sister, wife and kids. I for one can't be a disciple of his. After his saying that, I don't even like the guy. Now people, go ahead and pounce. I have just denounced your "Lord".
I don't think the way you feel is abnormal at all. I personally see some hypocrisy in the church from time to time that I find myself unable to explain. However, feeling the way you do, and being open about it, will offend many people who are part of "the church". These people are usually the ones who are going to bash your opinions and "attack you", such as the alter boy comment.
IIN to be an ordained minister yet hate orthodox religion?

Hold on dude, I didn't attack you at all? I simply asked for WHY you hate the religion. I was trying to understand your viewpoint better.
