Describe your first impression of religions, and how your current one has impacted your life.

• Everytime I enter a church of the latter-day saints, I experience a lingering state of existential dread. The church feels empty, meaningless, and void of purpose. It is plain and minimalistic, with nothing to redeem for its inadequacy. It is a blank canvas which advertises itself as a masterpiece. It drains my soul and leaves me feeling lifeless.
  
• My first visit to a catholic church struck feelings of awe and amazement. There was a sense of purpose and meaning. Like the cultural thrill you get from visiting an aesthetic national park, or an exotic place. There is spiritual and emotional euphoria because it genuinely feels like a House of God, if there ever is one.
  
• My impression of most protestant and non-denominational churches are acceptable. But I would describe them all as very mid-tier. For one, the biblical scripture is too open to interpretation and the Christian lifestyle feels oversimplified because a lot of their churches disabandoned many of the traditions, rituals, and customs that give Christianity its uniqueness. They have become plain and minimalistic. They are okay, but okay is the only way I describe them. (But they are strongly dominated by republican and conservative beliefs or politics.)
  
• The United Church of Christ keeps the aesthetic of christian churches. They are minimalistic, but their style is more modern and errs on the side of progressive. There is an emphasis on professionalism and being left-leaning. Perfect for places like LA. 
• The Orthodox Church has a certain appeal that is hard to describe. It is captivating, but not in the emotional sense. It has a certain mystique to it because of its ancient vibe. The depictions of God and Jesus are so unheard of, that it disillusions you to the perceptions modern churches have of christianity and Jesus. It is very superstitious and mysterious, but its community is very welcoming. It is easy to get a long with the people there. I experience a very weak connection to God there, to the point that God's presence is so subtle that it feels like a non-connection. God's presence in The Catholic Church is stronger. It is different because it is categorized as jewish christianity, not a typical form of christianity. When visiting the church for the first time, picture yourself walking into a museum with ancient rome/greek culture, where the earlier forms of christianity were just born. The depictions of Jesus, Mary, and The Holy Trinity are like if Leonardo DaVinci (Even though he was born significantly later) made them rather than what we see today.
  
• The synagogue is perhaps the most interesting, like The Orthodox Church. The synagogue's appeal is strong, in the way that a subject is interesting to scholars or exploring new realms of artifact is fascinating to archeologists. The synagogues are educational and provide a firsthand glimpse into the beliefs of ancient Israel. Judaism is the most intellectually stimulating, if that's your thing.
  
• The buddhist monastery (The first one I visited was a Theraveda one, but there are other sects. Like Tibetan, Shaolin or Chan) feels like a genuine place of refuge. It is like a shelter that offers emotional & spiritual fulfillment as well as contentment. The tibetan sect is like the buddhist version of orthodox christianity and has that same mystery, & appeal. As well as superstition. I believe tibetan might be my current area of interest as far as studying.
  

Idk the exact stance on circumcision

Only a disgusting religion can turn something so sick into a personal satisfaction.

Just so you know Catholics ruled out circumcision a long time ago

Idk if you have heard of the denomination named Seventh Day Adventists but they are the closest thing there is to what you called Jewish Christianity.

I suggest you go back to Catholicism

So, the reality is I feel that. Every time. Just less.

Wrong on the fact it tames us does not render it untrue.
