Thinking of going to church again, Been years
 

I may just try a few local churches. I want a little "be good to your neighbor" stuff and a little bit of hell fire and brimstone.

Anybody here go?

I went to a service at cathredal of st. John the divine earlier this year. It was neat.

Preature Donkster is coming

I would like to try a Catholic church. I don't know what to do at a Catholic church. Never been to a black church either. I wonder if there are churches like the one in Blues Brothers. I would like to go to one like that.

You should go to a gospel brunch at a soul food restaurant. Good fun.

Fuck no.

Donating your time to a charity is much more fulfilling.

I don't go now, but several years ago we used to go off and visit churches that were historic and attend services just to do it. Several times it would be in Spanish or Latin, but we git the gist.

Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer.

Jesus is lord,Hallelujah! Every Sunday morning

Good points. I have done some stuff at the local Rescue Mission, Which is also has a Church.

There is also a Church down the street that has a line of people out the door every Wednesday that gives away food.

I probably should just go to those and see what I can do. Although, The Gospel Brunch sounds like more fun.

i'm not a politically correct person

that said, it's silly to believe that you have a personal relationship with the creator of the universe and superstitious adults should be publicly shamed until they are no longer retards

additionally, adults who believe in ghosts, really anything supernatural or that "everything happens for a reason" are fucking insane dumb people

Shame and peer pressure are a powerful force, But not as powerful as the Holy Spirit.

Just saying, if Robert Oppenheimer hadn't spent so much time in a lab, Maybe we wouldn't have an Atomic Bomb.

so you would have had the atomic bomb designer doctor robert oppenheimer and his squad of top advisers want to side or compromise with all the nazis occupiers?

that's just a quote from a battle rap i saw on youtube one time so i'm just fooling around. i don't actually know how to respond to or comment on that in a serious manner

everyone one has faith in someway, but religion has a tax ID# and a business behind it

i have faith that it is, at least for the time being, unknowable whether a god or gods exist and to assume otherwise is arrogant and often stems from "i want to live forever"

I believe Marines would have taken Japan without the A-Bomb.

But..

I think science is based in war. Alfred Nobel felt so guilty about dynamite that he made the Peace Prize.

i fail to see how this plays directly into religion unless you're just trying to discredit science as a whole and therefore jeebus is undeniable.. but war breeds innovation in general for better or worse. obviously the world would be better off without weapons of mass destruction

Glad we can agree. Welcome to the fold. But it is spelled Jesus. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need guidance.

I stopped drinking the christian koolaid a few years ago after believing there was a god for most of my life. Once I abandoned my faith, I have noticed that I am more successful financially than I have ever been, doing better with each year than the last, I do almost all of the exact opposite of the ten commandments and I am a happier man. It's like I sold my soul to the devil and it feels damn good :)

Perhaps it is you who is the retard?

There is no god or the flying spaghetti monster, adapt or die.

Let the guy be ...

I'm banned from my local church due to a simple misunderstanding...

Apparently I was told to 'Go over there and take a pew'...

But I heard it differently & so the matter is now in the hands of the Police... :(

If you're going to feel better, then you should go, why not. I love the wording - 'TRY a few churches' :D

the gist is, put money in the collection plate! :2 cents:

Anyone recall the scene from Omen - where Gregory Peck tries to take Damien to the church for the first time?

That's me and church.

While the collection plate most certainly was passed around, I do not recall even once the priest/minister even mentioning it.

That's exactly why I went to cathedral of st. john the divine. I live a few blocks away.

History - About - Cathedral of Saint John the Divine

The priest used it as hush money for the altar boys.

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

I'm just the complete opposite - I don't give a shit about religion.

Please go, everyone needs to hear the mass.

Run from it, there a scam, a pyramid scheme

Just go man, it's YOUR choice not the Internet's specially GFY sinners..:2 cents: :upsidedow :1orglaugh

Truth be told. Just don't get brainwashed! :2 cents:

Already are excepting something you have no true idea if it egzists or not, its a straight up fairy tale

baptist (southern or 1st depending on your taste) is probably the most fun if you just want some preaching and socializing. they don't get too serious about eating bread chips and telling you that you are destined for hell.

as far as god existing or not? who the hell cares? that's not the reason for the OP. it sounds like the OP is lonely.

:thumbsup

That and I am angry at people in general lately. Something I want to work on, before I become a pissed off old man.
