That was your problem. You don't need a church to forgive you. A church is made up of people and people are flawed. If you believe in God then that's who you need to be dealing with and asking for forgiveness, not people. I've yet to find a church that I feel comfortable going to and that mirrors my beliefs. Most of the ones I've been to have the typical problems. So don't base Christianity on what you see in church, most people in church expect the preacher to read the Bible for them. Read it yourself and come to your own conclusions.
Nope, no Church needed.... Even the Bible says to "go into your closet to pray"... Makes it real personal and REAL.
