Thoughts on churches.

[dilbert firestorm]

if you're gonna do proper poll. it has to look like this.

That you church states
_I go at least once a week depending what MY leadership states
_I ok with them may go some time just hide my hobby thing, some say I want out of hobby.
_If can get a free meal when I spent all my money on hookers, or John's won't give
_Hell no, pastors rabbis bishops priest imams nuns worse than cops bye church
_No, I'm an atheist, they're disgusting.
_No, I'm an non-denominational christian, I don't go to church, I don't give a shit.
_don't know/don't care

Interesting responses. I'm atheist as proclaimed by at least one other. One nation under God and in God we trust mildly Randle me, but I choose to take the term in a non-literal sense, more relevant to a code of societal behavior, so fine. It does bother me when some try to force their religious views and tenets on others or drain the bank accounts of believers for their benefit as has been shown countless times.

Of course it is your right to label yourself anything you want but I've always thought that saying one is a non-believer, is as silly as saying one is a believer. I label myself Agnostic which translates to "I don't know" but I consider the possibility of either being correct since I don't know. That seems like the better answer for a non-believer but what ever, your choice.

An atheist is saying "I know" there is no God. How could one possible know that? I've always thought that answer comes from anger. If you are not sure,( how could you be ) agnostic would be a better label IMHO.

Definition of agnostic

1: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (such as God) is unknown and probably unknowablebroadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god

Hedonist, we can quibble semantics, no one really knows. I don't believe in divine providence, nor life after death. The lights go out and poof...like never there in the first place...no reward, no harm, no foul. I DO believe in legacy in terms of memory of my being, although short lived in most instances. So I do subscribe to the tenets of the Golden Rule. Ten Commandments, Scout Oath, and Scout Law as guiding principles of societal interaction. They have worked well for me, as I think humanity in general....although I've broken a few on occasion mainly related to this site's theme LOL.
