People who don't take things too seriously can do fine in "church".
But very sensitive sincere people REALLY go to hell there.
It might work out for good in the end, as in the case of Stapp and some other famous artists.
I would just pray about it myself, ask God to guide you, and NEVER DOUBT HIS GOODNESS OR COMPETENCE!!!
I did make some wonderful friends in church, but I had to pay a big price to be "friends" and I just can't pay it any more. To misrepresent what I really think.
Creedfreak, you might visit a church for yourself, or read the sermons on line, or something, and then make up your mind as to whether it might be helpful for your children or not.
Most churches are pretty gentle with young children and teach them the bible stories. I don't think it will make them "hate the wicked", but I don't know, I've been so badly burned, I can't think about these things "objectively" any more.
God bless you, it will be all right, none of us is a perfect parent, God has our "backs" and sometimes it's just His Idea to put your kids through hell, in the end there is a good reason for it, so I believe.
