There exists a certain breed of churchgoers who possess a peculiar set of personal traits and fixed beliefs that disguise themselves as Christian values. They love the word "Jesus", but are almost indifferent to the words of Jesus. Christianity for them is little more than a merry-go-round going nowhere.

Many of us feel unsteady, disoriented, even crushed after an endless string of scandals within the walls of a place meant to offer compassion and safety.
