Man is a spiritual entity so religion and man are inseparable. Christianity as a 'religion '(though I see it more as a lifestyle than a religion) is very straight forward but you encounter problems when you prefer to look up to others instead of Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith. I get sick when I hear people say 'my pastor said this, my pastor said that' and they swallow all hook, line and sinker. Don't forget that he is as human as you are and therefor his words are fallible. Move to the infallible word of God and end the frustrations.
