religion will make you feel like that. It's kind of a chain, and control thing. We go by man's interpretation of what God wants and means. Technically speaking, yes you can be religious and not feel like a doormat or slave. But it would not be any of the organized religions. I follow my own heart. Right or wrong, at least I make my choices and not some one wearing a collar at a podium telling me what I need to do. I follow my own religion
