I believe in nothing other than onions and the nailclip. But I've been baptized through my grandma's insistance. :biggrin:
I have only been to church once in my life. I was about nine or ten and I was only curious as to what it was like inside. It isn't for me. I guess the only reason I did go though, was because I had been living in the same yard as a church for about six months.
No. The parental part of me sometimes wonders if we are missing out on that whole church community thing, I would consider going to an Unitarian Universalist church if there were one in my area. After all- What do you call an Agnostic with kids? a unitarian universalist.
no...we kept saying we would go every Sunday for a few weeks, but it never happened, so we kinda just stopped trying. This kinda sucks because the southern baptist church sign in the neighborhood reminds us weekly we are going to hell. They use a different catchy phrase each week, like "Hell the Real Burning Man". This way everyone on their way to Burning Man, stopping for water at our WalMart (or 'the' WalMart to my fellow community members) can be reminded that if you have fun now man, you're going straight to hell later. We live in a fantastic town! i absolutley reccomend rurual northern Nevada to everyone. My new saying: 'Fernley, because Reno just isn't crappy enough". I think it's rather catchy; no?
Dave I like what you said about knowing God. I like it because, the truth is that we should not make absolute assumptions about things which are outside of our own realm of experience. To not believe in God is entirely respectable, but to tell others that there is no divine control is ignorance. God is our experience, not our belief.
unused to, then i deiced it was bullshit what they were preaching and i no longer go. I avoid them like a plague
I go, when I can, to what John Muir called his church, but to those man-made buildings others call church, I don't and have never gone there except for a few weddings and funerals.
