I love god and hate the church. I hate the concept of a church. Everyone believes that you most go to a church to worship god i think thats total BS. You dont have to go to church to worship god. YOu can be anywhere too worship God. But then there are people would fell that they would be judged because they got shit in there life thats not "normal" by the churches standards. Maybe there a drug addict, a prostitute, alcoholic, homeless person,homosexual, maybe a guy thats lonely,suicidal, or maybe just an average joe who wants to go to church but they feel they wont be excepted, and in most cases that would be true. The church puts labels on everyone especially people that have things going on in there life's that is "damaging" to the community. I think thats wrong, if God wanted us to reject people from the church he wouldn't have preached (when he was alive) to ALL men rich, poor, sick,not sick. It didn't matter to him so why does it matter to us. All Christians have to strive to be more like God so why do we judge people and cast them away from the church. The fall of the church will be the church itself.
Also, why does the church spend million upon million of dollars to prevent homosexuals form getting married, this just proves that church is judgmental and dosent welcome all people like some churches preach about. I don't see why someone else being homosexual would effect another persons life i just don't see that. Who cares that there gay but the church obviously cares that there gay because they wasted all that money to take a basic human right from homosexuals. That money could have gone to much better causes that would have affected the lives of many people that truly need help. Those reasons are why my dad wants to start a church that really would let anyone go. Prostitutes,drug addicts,Homeless, whoever wants to come. I know this kinda contradicts the statement i said earlier when i said that you don't need a church to worship god. But this church would let those people that are broken to have a place where they can find them selves. Even if there in a million pieces we would help them if they wanted help.
**************Post your comments and opinions If your atheist Please don't post*****************
You Dont have to go to church to be a christian. Church ios just like anoither place to worship the Lord and loearn more abaot him. I personnaly go and I enjoy it.
I share your views on the church. Having no ruling powers in a church really is the best way to go, because the entire thing will be eventually tainted by human corruption.
So you preach about how bad the church is and how un-accepting they are, then you end your post with that? You are just as intolerant and hateful. You, sir, are no different than the church.
lol i said that so ignorant ppl like you wouldnt be like "GOD dosent excist" or stupid shit like that. caus most of the atheists on here would just argue with me that god dosent excist or something stupid like that and i dont want that this thread is for ppl who actually have a opinion about the topic at hand not like this which is completely off topic.
They also hate people who think too much about life, which is why I disowned the Catholic faith. They excommunicated me when I was 17. Yeah, a bit extreme, I know. I have friends in other faiths of other towns and I respect that, but you know what? I can't go in. It's a giant thorn in my side. That turned me away from Christianity and into Atheism.
So yeah, here are my few cents about churches. They hate other religions, they hate people of different sexualities, and they hate people that are "different" and people that think that they "are harmful to others". Now you know why I'm such a thorn in Christianity's side.
sorry all that shit happened to you....not trying to convert you back or anything but that was f'ed what the church did and thats not what the bible says the church should be about
that happened to one of my friend and i was so pissed about the whole thing i went to the church nd yelled at the priest guy it was wrong to do that but i was pissed that the church would do that
totally agree with you on that church hates other relgions and that they hate the fact that another sexuality other then being straight even exists. id see why the church gets so butt hurt about the subject its very annoying
Hehe, looks like many of you HATE going church. Well, I do not feel the same as you guys. What church are you talking about? I used to be sick of going church but I am not exactly like that now. Although I get tired and anxious, waiting to go home.
I'm not going to comment on the content of this thread just yet, I just wanted to point out one thing:
lol i said that so ignorant ppl like you wouldnt be like "GOD dosent excist" or stupid **** like that.
Is not a good reply to thelistman's objection because while said objection wasn't 100% on the mark, this reply just perfectly validated it. The original phrase would more properly have been phrased: "Please do not make arguments about the existence of God itself, this discussion is purely about the Church."
And since it's my job to say that, I have done so!
I have friends in other faiths of other towns and I respect that, but you know what? I can't go in. It's a giant thorn in my side. That turned me away from Christianity and into Atheism.
What did they do, take away your church pass? You seriously can't just walk in and no one will notice?
