to all religious people!!!
note that GOD is still GOD regardless of how other so called religious peeple act. your minister or other religious leaders may sin and stuff but GOD continues to be GOD. so if that is what is holding you back from church don't let it stand in your way.

by the way i am religous. go to church when i can.

i think religion is one big contradiction

i believe in god with out a dought, but church to me is just pointless, what do the people who goto church get out of it?

I'm not being insensitive but it is my personal opinion that religions do little else other than cause conflict.

i believe and i go to church when ever i can. the only part that pisses me off is that when a big event happens people hit the church up with attendence for a month then falter after that.

one of Jesus' tenets was for christians to congregate with one another. Church is the most convenient. Its supposed to be a community thing but people always just go in, sit down, stand up, leave. I do mission stuff and bible studies they are a lot more fun.

ALL religions are IMO narrow-minded ways of thinking

Ah yes, the all-inclusive statement thats very broad-minded

"Youre narrow-minded"
"well you are so open-minded, I think all of your brains must have fallen out"

bad interpretation of religion is the source of many evil thing on erth, like the war in Israel adn the Talibans etc, etc... Thats why I dont like it...

religion is a human conclusion. 2 me it only separates mankind from others....and of all, from God.

I am a believer...and not because of the stuff that they preached to me during my childhood when I was forced to go to church by my mother.

I have been to church just a few times in the past 5 years. I was finally old enough to sit and actually take in what was being said and see how it affected all of the people sitting in the church and how it affected me. I don't agree with what is being said. I actually thought that some of it was complete bullshit. I don't believe that going to church drives most people to be the aspiring pure entity that they go to church to be. I have met countless Christians who don't practice what they preach and supposedly stand for.

I do like the idea of community and good will that it creates though. There can't be anything possible wrong with that in this day and age.

But I don't believe that God exists because of what a minister told me or what I read in a Bible.

I believe in God because I feel him in my life.
