The only reason I won't be going to church is that I have trouble with the "Christ" concept. I've tried over and over to return to church over the years, but this gets in my way...I suppose intellectually. I know I'm probably opening up alot of debate, but that's ok, I imagine that's why this thread was started in the first place.
G'morning, Ryankett...atheists have good mornings too!
Used to go to Church every Christmas (and every Sunday, and every birthday, etc., etc.). But now, not anymore. I'm not an atheist but the practices I have before I no longer observe now. I don't know why?
Since the holiday is actually Zoroastrian in origin, I plan on staying home and listening to Freddie Mercury songs and praying to Mithra to melt all this damned snow.
and that is all I have to say about that! or maybe
Oh yeh? If I had a god it would be prettier than your god.
My fake god could whup your fake god with one noodle tied behind his back.
I thought we were only using fake gods, then you turn up with the big fella himself! NOT FAIR!!!
My church doesn't have a Christmas service. One doesn't have to be in a church to worship the Christ of Christmas.I will read the account from Lukes gospel to my family as has been our tradition on Christmas morning before we have a great breakfast and begin the day. Happy Birthday Jesus!
Is your church against Christmas celebrations?
Not at all, we have a special Christmas Cantata, or play every year on the Sunday before Christmas.
I truly would like to attend mass on Christmas, though it is a very long service, but I plan to attempt it at any rate !
The Christmas Eve service where I attend is all hymns, chiors and instrumental music. The final song is Silent Night and we sing it in the candle lite - most peaceful.
No, but I will probably do something to celebrate Yule on Monday.

My personal opinion is that, YES, most Christians believe in God out of fear. And that starts when they are children. When a child is taken to church and told that he/she will burn eternally in the fiery pits of hell unless they follow the rules of the Bible and God's word, that...

Having worked in vocational ministry for the last seven years, I'm constantly perplexed by the lack of investment and involvement in church by those who attend and consider themselves followers of Jesus. I'm wondering if my expectations are wrong or if we've done a poor job communicating with...

Many adults oftentimes have the religion of their parents and grandparents. However, there are those of us who questioned the religion of our childhoods and decided that religion was not for us. We believed that the religion in question was too restrictive, atavistic, and...

Would the world be a better place without religion?A lot of persons always speak bad of religion and how it's just a flurry of confusion to turn races and nations against each other and how churches don't really help out at all.But suppose many people wishes came through and all of a sudden there...
