I haven't dug too deep into it yet, but one thing I can tell is churches give me chilly feelings, the faces there are scary too?
churches were designed to be places where people are pushed into submissive position, to teach them how to obey the rulers... for centuries.

and why do they need a priest sitting in between? why can't they directly talk to god?
I have learned that there is no such person or leader in Islam, and Muslims pray to Allah directly, no middle men, nor any photos, so I found it quite interesting seeing the difference.
reply
because priests are the actual governments... It was designed to be like that from centuries ago. Create this illusion that people have to obey some kind of ruler... instead of being humans with free will.
reply
and why these people get to be the priests? yes seems the same like the governments...

that higher power don't want you to be submissive, want you to be free and do things based on natural law.

I'm curious how do you think of Islam?
One of the reasons that triggered me to learn more about it is all these western propaganda trying too hard to link bad things with it, yet I am experiencing different things in real life: kindness, beauty and peace, and of course bad people exist everywhere, you have bad Muslim out there too.
I used to be atheist, trusted the science, and didn't get much chance to learn about god, but the more I learn about my body, the more I find wonders.
