Not at all. At the risk of presumptively speaking for the forum as a whole, we're glad to share in your experiences. We've got a fascinating mix of people and experiences here. It's great to hear about everyone's travels and stories. I feel like I've almost visited a certain farm in New Zealand, a certain bar in Illinois, and several more places.

You shouldn't take that form of religion seriously, except as a crime against God and humanity. All organizations on earth are made up of human beings, so there will be bad apples. That man will be held accountable for his actions. In my opinion, you've thrown the baby out with the baptismal water, but I'll leave it at that. I would truly hate to have the death of this thread on my conscience. Mustn't displease the Zombie Thread masters, you know.
