Ol Charles you are missing it entirely. It's not that cut and dry.
Fellowship is a huge part of christians and their meetings at church. They may want to spend time with likeminded people, do activities with eachother. A level of comfort with spending your time with people who have something significant to you, in common. Obviously a huge part of christian church service is direct worship. So the question exists - what are there for atheists to do in a gathering ? Perhaps they could : - talk about if they were ever religious to begin with and what changed their minds - discussions over various religions (and not necessarily just to shit on them) - discuss political and social events that they may feel are for or against them. - and yeah, who knows, maybe they could discuss on how right they are for not picking christianity - but isn't the opposite what Christians do ? It's all in how you view it. And you may wonder why atheism usually "attacks" christianity the biggest. We are in America, and there is no more prominent religion at all. Especially in the south ! It wasn't until I moved to Austin did I finally feel like I wasn't living in a community that looked down on me for not praising jesus. Fun note - I live maybe 50 yards from what could be the largest church-o-plex i've ever seen in my life. -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |

I know how you feel... I grew up in a town that has the most churches per square mile in the united states. Abilene also has three uber christian universities. Mix that with an air force base and you have a dangerous cocktail of uber conservatism and evangelical bull shit. -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
