Prove there isn't one. To me, It surely appears the world works the way God says it does in the Bible. I have not seen any deviation from that yet.

Also ..I learned the hard way about it. Firsthand.

I went to a service once, to see what was up, when a fair proportion of my peer group joined the Happy Clappers. Did nothing for me.

Why/why not?

Church and belief in the unknown (creation) are 2 SEPARATE human behavioral patterns.
Church leaders represent the blind leading the blind. Historically, where most ignorance comes from in modern intellectual thought, the Church & similar religious entities represented the relatively few “educated” & politically powerful people in their respective culture, and they were often brutal in trying to maintain their power over their “sheep”.

I have not attended church since i became a teen. I grew up physically & intellectually.

I beg to differ. You succumbed to your id and you're a myopic moron.
In b4 you post a thread about your latest string of bad luck.

Why/why not?

No. Because I'm an atheist and an antitheist.

What was Robert Johnson, the guy in your avatar, though?

I'll jump the gun and say more of a real American than you.

He's a guy who spent his life dodging rednecks like you.

You have me confused with some other rednecks.

He probably never made it this far south, where a black man can be truly free.

I back up Christians and I have a Christian background. And I am not a great representative of them. But I do know when a group is being blamed for some things.

He proves Himself to those who seek Him.

I believe in God strongly, attend church infrequently. In before MarcATL looks down on me.

PS: What's your denomination, MarcATL?

i just re-read Genesis up until the scattered across the earth with different languages part for the umpteenth time.

11 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
4 And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begat Arpachshad two years after the flood.
11 and Shem lived after he begat Arpachshad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
12 And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begat Shelah.
13 and Arpachshad lived after he begat Shelah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
14 And Shelah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: 15 and Shelah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: 17 and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: 19 and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: 21 and Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: 23 and Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: 25 and Nahor lived after he begat Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran begat Lot.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: The name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 And Sarai was barren; She had no child.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

I am spiritual, not religious,thus I do not believe in any particular religious sect. I am content with my beliefs and do not feel the need to attend a church. If anyone feels that need, that is their choice.

In your belief-system, what's the final source of authority?

For instance, is the Bible, or is it something else?

I don't have a system or source of authority. I believe in being a good person, helping people in need and being a great friend, wife, and mother. I do believe in a higher power, but not necessarily as described by so-called Christians or other religious people. I believe we did not come what some feel is "God's Image" as a human physical being. I believe he is love and light, as we are without our physical bodies. This is why I believe that when our physical bodies die, our souls continue to live, as light and love.

 

[Lysistrata]

Church attendance is not any reliable barometer of who anybody is morally or spiritually. Also, the reference to "church" applies only to Christian faiths and leaves out those of other faiths in addition to atheists and agnostics.

 

[Staidhup]

I am a conservative and yes we attend church each Sunday and our small group each week. You missed that in your poll!

 

[tyroneweaver]

That is, at least twice a month, for the purposes of this thread.

Why/why not?

Any special reason ya left off Conservative and attend weekly?

Honest mistake.

To the MODS, are you able to rectify that and open up the poll?

In the grand economy of things I doubt it really matters

 

[Natural Citizen]

Interesting.

Do you mind sharing what was your biggest observations between the worship styles?

No, I don't mind. I don't really feel like it at the moment. Sorry for that. I'm pm you later when I feel like it. It's a sincere question, deserves a good answer. It'll probablty be long as fuck, though.

no-it doesn't work that way
.....if someone claims something--THEY have to to prove it--not the other way around
..I can claim all kinds of dumbshit:
the Eiffel Tower moved 3 feet
ducks are on the moon
a bunny rabbit talked to me
....

Of course you beg to differ; you are relatively ignorant and are unable to argue rationally on specific claims.

I did not have bad luck. You must be fantasizing again.
