I don't go to church anymore because it's filled with too many hypocrites. A relationship with God is all that you need. You don't need to go to church in order to be a Christian.
Hell No. You people hate tattoos, the LGBT community, and sex before marriage. Religious people are so uptight. Also you can't force people to start going to church.
No we don't. I'm catholic and I have stretched ears, tattoos, and piercings, I'm lesbian, and I've had sex before marriage, and nobody hates me in the church.
i don't hate gay people doesn't mean i have to agree with them, i have gay friends love them but are beliefs are different
when you are a kid you get forced to go to church lol but once older its up to the person
@yellowgirl00d then you are going to hell and you know it!
@Prettyapathetic Aww who cares heaven's overrated
@Prettyapathetic is there no perfect person
the only way to heaven is through the son jesus christ
just believe and trust in him and try to follow his word best you can
and that's it , the reservation is set and you are in heaven
@relaxrelax ew I'd rather lick Buddha's toes.
@Prettyapathetic lol buddahs toes.
@Bobbyhill1 I bet it taste like sweet gold
You been brainwashed. Although I understand how in the USA how pervasive the Christian and Catholic religions are... I was once a devoted Christian and went to both Catholic and Christian churches... long story short. I still believe in a higher power, but now I understand religion very well - much better than most people and understand the secret doctrines. What you've been taught isn't the bible. It's a revision of the bible done by men and it's meant to keep you a slave without you knowing.
All of these can and are achieved without the 'help' of church.
And if you truly loved God and the church as much as you claim - then why are you ashamed of it - anonymous?
I completely disagree. I am an atheist and I do believe that churches can instill good beliefs in people but I this simply doesn't happen enough. I personally am an an atheist but that's because I believe science more because of the evidence and that I dont agree with the Bible on a lot of subjects.
Thanks for the sermon, pastor.
Going to church and generally worshiping fictional deities is a waste of the one life you get.

No church. We dont need more people getting brainwashed to accept one religion and reject others
We need unity not seperation
study your history and you will see its true
@relaxrelax whats true?
the bible and also plenty of other books honestly
@relaxrelax I hope that is true
ill give you a starting point
genesis 6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
study giant foot prints,
giant skeletons,
egyptian giants,
giant sarcophagus
giants and giraffes
book of enoch
I've study this for 3 to 4 years now but i can't explain 3 to 4 years of research in one post
so i ask you to study and test all things
@relaxrelax yea we know giants roamed the earth. We have fossils to see that
Why do people around the world say 'my' religion and not our religion. Why do religions go against each other is there is a common god for all of us?
cause people wanna be special
@relaxrelax so does that imply we choose what to believe rather than it choosing us?
no we test the belief we put it too the test and we put the book to the test
when i pray for something that actually has meaning to me GOD answers
but if i pray for a ton of money GODS gonna look at me and be like no
cause he does have free will also he can say no people don't seem to understand that lol
Unity is nil if it means sacrificing our unique identity which makes us human.
@JRICHARDS1996 i do agree, you are right about that
But we need a restructuring, if that is even possible
he is right we need a new structure
@relaxrelax the reality is, if all of it is true. How amazing would that be. Besides whats the alternative? A cold bleak future of destruction, alien invasions, asteroid destroying earth, sun dying out... its all cold as ice
yup thats a bleak earth and future lol ill take heaven
And that is the problem. Far too many "progressive" ideologies espousing unity want us to compromise our unique identity, effectively sacrificing that which makes us human and worth preserving in the first place. Religion for better or worse is a part of that. I think that capitalism will inevitably unite us.
How about evolution? It's known we have near similar genetic makeups of other animals. Also religion was used to control people like political parties do today.
Why I believe no one should go to church: because it preaches and teaches unhealthy values and does the opposite of uniting people but makes room for hate instead.
Oh fuck me. What the hell. Fucking Onison. My God someone please flag this shit. I have no idea how I linked this garbage. -____________________-;
Well. That was strange. Now it's back...
More people should go so they can figure out how to be decent human beings instead of the stupid pieces of shit they've become.
Those intelligent enough to just treat each other with kindness and respect are exempt.
If your claim is true explain to me why the biggest assholes i know go to church every Sunday and Wedsneday?
Your religion for the most part doesn't dictate how you act in real life. Most people dont follow the religious rules but claim to follow the faith
@bjjk067 At least there'd be something in the back of their minds to kind of make them think before acting.
People are generally shit, anything to make them less shit is good.
Why fewer people should go to church: God is a fairy tale and you're not children

What scares me is that countries like North Korea, China and Russia are ahead of us in religion. They're atheists.
A God that makes your life more difficult just to prove your worth to him is like a cruel king. I'll never go to church
I firmly believe that today's religions will eventually become mythology like every religion before. One day we'll accept Math and Science as our Gods and that will be the beginning of the true Golden Age.
Church is ok, but a real relationship with God through Jesus Christ is key.
he is right
Which is only possible through the Church, his visible body on Earth, the pillar and ground of the truth. The Church is the way by which you do that.
The day when someone forces me to go to church is the day I will actually consider getting violent.
I find this take hilarious. You think God demands you go to church while simultaneously believing God is everywhere.
I like your pov! Good point srsly. I do like church, but I don't think it's needed to worship god.
I find it funny how when someone makes a non-threatening post about religion atheists are attracted like flies. You'd assume it would act as repellent.
I am a Christian, great take and feel free to add me
I like it during the holidays. But lots of people who go regularly, they just do crazy stuff anyway.
