Why did you stop going to church?

I stopped going after the preacher tried to fuck my big sister...also had one preacher kidnap..the whole congregation, and told noone could leave until the baskets were full...he was crying and said God told him to do it..he then proceeded to empty his very own wallet into the basket,and said this is what God wants everyone else to do...so Deacons and Ushers..bar the doors...I got up and told the Deacons and Ushers, if u don't let me out..it's about to be another crucifix....brah
 
The church i attend does many things for the community.....feeding the poor and homeless, offering temporary shelter to simgle black women, many free help services (computer training. tax help, leagal assistance, health services).....most important it is a place for Black men to meet and discuss life and God....
same with my church.i laugh at all these comments in this thread so many non believers but when they day come all will change because i know my god is real and NO ONE could EVER change my mind or make me feel bad for my belief..
 
Religion is NOT about other people controlling you. Religion is about people having a mechanism to control themselves. Think about it, religion - all religions - are the only thing between you and having to kill some of these cats for trying to steal your shit. I mean, in jail is where most people find God or Allah or Buddah or the Pope or whatever the fuck.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that you found a congregation full of good people who have supported you throughout your life. Let me ask you a question though.

If there were undisputed proof that God did not exist would they still be a congregation of good supportive people? Would you still trust them the same way you have for the last 30 years? Is your pastor still the same kind of man who would drive 600 miles for a friend's father's funeral if he had to take a different kind of job?

I believe that they would still be good people because most human beings are inherently good. Most of us are blessed with empathy and a sense of morality that causes us to treat other people with the same respect and courtesy that we expect ourselves. Even sociopaths understand that jail sucks and life is generally easier when you follow the law.
 
Church and religion, that's some bullshit, but GOD, (he or she) is real. Yes, he or she is everywhere, believe that. invisible, yeap. Magnificent, yeap. Real, hell yeap, but religion is a bunch of bullshit. Especially christianity. The religion that has enslaved and killed millions of people for thousands of years. Religion, as Marx exhorted is the opium of the masses (people). It is a tool this system uses for control. Nonetheless, if you learn a few arts, like tai chi, chi kung, meditation, African arts, etc, don't matter which country or area, you will find the GOD you are looking for. You will soon find you are apart of this thing as well, so, don't give up on GOD, because he ask nothing of you, but dedication. It won't happen over night, but if you stay on the path, you will see results.

Most of the folks in here said God was real, but they not comfortable with religion.

Hey yo fambolo

I will never forget creflo the money goon dollar..

Said..

If it was up to him..he would line every one up who didn't pay tithes and shoot them with an Uzi..

These words came out his mouth during a service...

And the sheep just went baaaa baaaaa...

A fucking mazing
 
I remember early 90s my church I grew up in developed a system to keep track of all members and also how much they tithed. I was 14 at the time and I didn't always put the money my grandad gave me in the envelope with my membership number on it. They ended up dropping my church membership. At that point I started to become disillusioned with religion I saw it was about money.

Now that I travel the world and talk to people of different Faith's and religious beliefs I know it is all bullshit

That's why I STOPPED going many years ago, at the age of 14! It is all BULLSHIT!!!!!! Been an atheist every since!
 
At a very young age, I also remember the preacher telling the ushers to lock the doors and don't let anyone leave because the deacons didn't report enough money that was collected during the "offering!"

He still getting money for his private jet life..

These pimp preachers are the main reason we as a people are walking around in circles

But they caking lovely

We need to douche out all the progress cockblockers

Starting with these Masonic preachers

All preachers aint a parasite..

But that less than one percent that aint

Is too small to make a difference..

Organized religion keeps us acting like

Fuckin cattle

The science of religion is what the people need

Not the dogma bullshit

Tell em brah...shits real in the chuuch
 
Yeah like others have already said in this thread
Religion is about control, discipline, structure, etc, etc
Laying down a foundation, or a blueprint to pattern your life after
Giving one a conscience, to properly assess between wrongs and rights

Wikipedia: Santa Claus, is a fictional figure originating in Western Christian culture who is said to bring gifts to the homes of well-behaved children on the night of Christmas Eve
Santa Claus is said to make lists of children throughout the world, categorizing them according to their behavior.....
"He sees you when you're sleeping...He knows when you're awake"
"He knows if you've been bad or good...So be good for goodness sake."

I get it though, I understand the basic fundamentals of what religion is trying to do
But one can also argue that.....the idea of religion for adults, is basically like the idea of Santa Claus for young children

:hmm::hmm::hmm:

Dedication to what though? Which path are you talking about?

I know people of all faiths that meditate or do tai chi. If they all find a different God that tells them to do different things and hold different beliefs than what's the point?

if an atheist does Tai chi or meditates and still remains an atheist does that mean they're doing it wrong?
 
From an early age I always noticed it was always the mentally unstable people were the ones who speak tongues. It was never the stable people who could formulate good explanations.

Do I believe in God and his teachings, yes. But the aspect of religion and doing as the preacher says, no.

Ill give whatever is in my heart to give, whether its a few bucks to help keep the lights on in a church or my time/change to some less fortunate person that needs it. Thats also tithing in my book. NOT GIVE A PERCENTAGE of my hard earned money to some Gulfstream flying, 2+ homes owning, lil boy liking pastor.

You have to know the difference and stay away from these corrupt megapreachers after their own wants, bible thumpers/atheists who wanna shove their own beliefs down your throat and believe in your own beliefs that you think is right. Reading some of these horror stories about how these preachers act about $ would make anybody not wanna go to church. But there is no explanation about how we all as living beings came about... how the universe was formed, etc.

So I stick to my own beliefs on that one.

As for atheist, he or she might not should be atheist, because if you do the energy exercise of the things I mentioned above, you will understand that you did not create yourself, or developed out of nothing. There is a designer. Further, God talking to you is not apart of the paradigm, but you will become more connected to the all, which is what this whole thing is about. You will begin to understand that all of us are connected. Insects, Animals, Humans, the multiverse. Without this connection, we can only say we are, but after experiencing the end product of these energy arts, you will know you are connected to what is greater than you. If you chose not to call it GOD, then so be it, but whatever you decided to call it, you must know it designed you.

I meditate regularly so i am very familiar with that "all is one" feeling you describe. I also understand that's it's only a feeling. No different than those feelings of love you might get when a random gives you some good pussy. Acting on either of those feelings can be disastrous because they aren't based on anything real.

Don't get me wrong. It's objectively true that all living creatures have life in common. It's also obvious that the combined life force of every living creature in the universe is more powerful than any single individual's. You don't need to "feel" anything to know that though.

As for a creator, let's assume you're right and we were all designed by a more powerful being. Does that alone mean we should appoint him as our God? If we do then how do we know his will? Through feelings?

So take it one step further and assume that this God communicates through feelings. A couple weeks ago a driver changed lanes without looking and almost ran me off the road. I was so mad I felt like ramming his car. Was that God telling me to do it? Did I displease my creator by not intentionally damaging this idiot's vehicle?

If that's wasn't God's will then how does one differentiate between these feelings and the ones God actually wants you to follow?

As deep and spiritual as everything you said sounds it raises some very troubling possibilities.
 
When my Grandmother and God Mother were alive I went church faithfully but things were different back than the pastor didn't beg for money you gave what you could, the Pastor came to your house if a family member was sick or needed help. There were programs for the kids all year round to keep the kids off the streets. When I joined the military and moved I found out the dirty world of televangelist and the begging ass pastor who only want money. My Pastor back home held it down till he passed away at the age of 97 it all feel apart then and a new pastor stepped in church shut down about 3 months later.
