I know a lot of us are atheists but you still know the feeling.

has never "GONE" to Church. GONE! *sigh

Except for some old people. :|

And some fat people

And disabled people.

and me, i fall asleep in church all the time. after going for my entire life you cant possibly convince me that its not boring to listen to someone drone on about the same message for 2 go***amned months.

If a guy preaches the same sermon for two months, there's something wrong with him. If it's just the same topic, that's different. I thoroughly enjoyed it when my pastor preached about Balaam each Sunday night for a couple of months.

really old guy

It was a reply to Inferno-kid's comment saying "Heil Beckett". It looks like the guy is doing the Nazi salute.

Not to be a stickler about details.....but the Nazi salutes is a 45 degree angle......

Quote from my last comment: "It looks like the guy is doing the Nazi salute." I didn't say, "The guy is doing the Nazi salute." I too am a stickler. :P

not meant as an actual threat, it bugs the shit out of me though

You'd be surprised...

You don't have to go to church to believe in the almighty creator. You can just believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. HE BOILED FOR OUR SINS! ppy6z.jpg (click to show)

Ramen to that.

I think that's not funny, but then again, I think most of the stuff you say isn't funny.

k, i'll start making higher quality memes

I'm talking about 9/11 jokes and the like. If you haven't made any 9/11 jokes, then I apologize for this comment.

Well, the crash itself isn't funny but the conspiracy theories can be hilarious.

My personal favorite that I've heard is that everything--planes, buildings, all of it--were holograms the whole time.

And absurd...

According to the multiverse bush did 911 alone

Just a man flying

I haven't heard of the flying spaghetti monster in many years! My little brother used to hail it.

"Used to" hail it? Did he turn into an infidelic atheist?

Don't know. He doesn't speak to me as he's been a loner shut-in for several years now. Connection maybe?

Actually, you kind of do. Most of the New Testament commands in Paul's letters are to communities of believers rather than individuals, and belonging to a community of faith is assumed.

I think he meant going to church doesn't save you.

That makes a lot more sense. True!

Yeah, going to church alone won't save you, unless you have a personal relationship with Christ, if you do, church can help strengthen that relationship, but isn't required.

Find one you like with a reasonable schedule (although to be honest once a week for 3 hours max isn't asking that much).

I don't think church is a vital asset or anything. If it was, people in poor and/or totalitarian anti-religious countries with no access to any variation of a church would be screwed.

They kind of are.

I mean whatever few religious people would be living in hostile areas

China and those psychos out in the Middle East aren't too friendly to Christianity.

The extremists, not the entire countries.
How does not being 'friendly' to a country make you anti-religious?

For muslims, the "moderates" are the extremists. It expressly says, several times, that anyone who refuses to convert is an infidel, and killing them pleases allah.
As with China, yeah, your point is pretty accurate, as not everyone in China hates Christians, but the government doesn't allow it to my knowledge.

He was being sarcastic bro, by "not too friendly" he meant open persecution.

The Chinese government tries to suppress the spread of Christianity in its country. As for the Middle East, there are plenty of Christians being persecuted and killed by Islamic extremists, although everyone's level of extremism over there is questionable.

This comment section is an example of why people have lost all hope in the human race.
From not being a christian because you don't like standing for very long to worshiping pasta, this comment section has everything.
