Many of us feel that way. We'd rather sit in God's creation than with judgemental pricks
How often do you attend church?

Sounds like someone has a chip on their shoulder about church. I'm guessing yours probably kicked you out after your dabblings with infidelity.
And it's beyond ironic when you call someone a "judgmental prick." It only took two words to make you a hypocrite.
I wasn't judging anyone in particular, but when in church, on those rare occasions, I don't feel better than anyone else. I have friends in all strata of life. Mostly people are upset that I took a pro gay stance at a county convention
Never been kicked out of a church. My minister is a hunting buddy and great Christian
Just starting in earnest here. Going out at sunrise tomorrow. Public ground makes it tough. Hoping to do some private this wknd. Yellows are starting to pop here. Makes me feel like a kid on my birthday. How was turkey hunting? Had a couple of employees get nice birds.
Those are all really short sentences.
So you rarely, if ever, go to church? Yet
So you don't go to church, but you have a minister? Yes, that makes sense. Just curious-what does your "hunting buddy minister" think when you spend your whole hunting trip hammering out messages to people you've never met on HROT?
Church has taught me to be faithful to the mother of my child, and vice versa. So maybe NOT going to church isn't working out too well for Clarinda.
I have a friend who is a minister, Don't text much while Turkey hunting, deer hunting is different....we talk religion, politics, hunting etc. In a tree I get bored on occasion.
Obviously hasn't taught you humility, forgiveness, and not being a douche. I followed the king Solomon route
"my minister" isn't the same as "I have a friend who is a minister." Looks like honesty isn't in your wheelhouse either.
He is the guy who's church I go to when I go. Looks like being a prick is in your wheelhouse
Besides, I was a regular attendee prior to my infidelity....which was over a decade ago.so I think I'm doing better by hanging with my own personal minister....smaller group for him to preach to, more one on one
Hypothetical for ya Lute.
What if you were taken to a Muslim country shortly after birth and grew up with Islam? You would be a Muslim, think you have the correct religion and think Christianity was the false religion. When you meet your maker, you would not have Jesus in your heart.
Per your example, you would be sentenced to hell by the"loving" Christian God because your were not raised in a Christian part of the world.
I guess you won the religion birth lotto and God placed you in America? Dont you think your place of birth will dictate your religion?
I've asked this question to Christians many times. Most ignore the question and a few say a Christian missionary would come through their Muslim village and they would convert...lol

I've always found it odd that people would look for God in church. Nature seems like a much better place find his handiwork.
Did it really take religion and going to church for you to realize that cheating on the mother of your child was wrong?
Can one of my homeboyz start an official morel thread please? Would like to discuss and see how others are doing but don't know how to start a new thread via iPhone. TIA.
Me too.
To above poster: God IS in church if it's a Catholic one. He is present in the body/blood given at Eucharist. This is the essence of faith.
Sooo, you did go to church, cheated on your wife and committed a pretty significant sin, and now no longer go to said church? That clears things up on your stance on the subject. And your general negativity.
No, but it helped illustrate the importance of family and purposeful relationships, as well as service to others.
My wife still goes to church after doing some bad stuff and I never go but did not do anything wrong. Are you saying people that have done bad things should go even if church tells them they should not be doing what they are doing?
Sunday worship and community group. I attend a group Bible study with a group known as "Celebrate Recovery"...it is taught by a former player of mine. They minister to recovering addicts of all varieties. He also operates a home for these people. I am not sure how they find out about his ministry but we have a guy from Estonia in the group. I am not a recovering addict unless you count coaching as an addiction but I love what he is doing. Want to see the Lord at work...attend Bible study with these folks.
Retired...coached everything...mostly boys and girls basketball...much of my career spent in rural Mississippi...area of the state called The Delta.

That is my
That is my first state team in MS...favorite of them all...I loved those kids...they would run through a wall for me...can't begin to understand what that meant to me.
When do you think you'll cover the parts regarding braggadocio, ding dong?
He missed that Sunday when they gave the 'meek shall inherit the earth' sermon
You could have actually made a point by saying going to church clearly doesn't make one a better person.
I was asking him because it sounded like he thought the guy should be at church even if he cheated. My point wasn't real other than my wife goes to church part. If she was a full cheater I the OP thinks she should still be in church. That would be backwards if you ask me.
