I believe in God and so on... but I do not agree with the role of Church in our times. +1. The main aim of church is to lead to salvation of a soul. If a church evolves to a state institute in its formal way of stamping marriages and collecting donations, people feel it and turn their backs. Jesus said that he came to sinners not to saints. So, church is a community of repenting sinners. I can give interesting example - in 19 century in Russia every army officer was to be a Christian and to participate in Eucharistia obligatory twice a year. Moreover, he was to have a paper about this event. And this turned this Sacrament to obligatory duty not for free will. This hurted church and people greatly.
