wow Bemused I am sorry. Sorry that you only have experienced the religion side of Christianity (which by the way is the man made rules and regulations) and yes NTM was good at that. But there is so much more!!! and having a bond that you share with other believers is something that God wants for us. There are good churches out there and good people too I am sorry that you have not experienced that side of things. Have you seen Ravi Zacherias he is on YouTube you can find him there but he has done a great series and book on Has Christianity Failed You that may be a helpful tool for you. There are so many people who are wounded by religion but what God offers is a relationship. Don't think that what you say and experienced in NTM is an accurate picture of the God of the Universe
