Bigot!?!?

Some of us can't dumb ourselves down to believe in God.Going to Church is like getting free money.
The social sciences are clear: people that go to Church weekly are happier, live longer, give more to charity, volunteer more, have lower suicide rates, less drug overdoses, etc., etc.
The #1 reason America is such a disaster now is because 80% of Americans no longer attend Church and America is an atheist country.

That's a fair point but geniuses can also be wrong.
There are alot of genius theists throughout history as well as the greatest scientist of all time:
Sir Isaac Newton.
Isaac Newton's life was one long search for God
From physics and alchemy to theology and eschatology, Isaac Newton’s research was rooted in a personal pursuit of the Divine.

maybe they have an elderly parent in very costly memory care. Or a student debt they’re still paying off. Or they have a child in a private school because they live in a place with subpar public education.If they're rich, they can give more, if they choose to.
Seems like common sense to me.
Or they make too much money to get financial aid for a college age child.
You have zero idea yet you’re making a blanket statement.
Okay. I’ve had them knock on my door and when I tell them I’m a Catholic one literally told me I was going to burn in hell.
Have you tried pulling up your bootstraps higher?
The more people that believe a raptor helped Mary give birth via C-section, the better we can all believe that it's all imaginary.
They don't believe in Hell so that person was wrong.
And yet 36% of Americans say that attend weekly services, which is why drug addiction, gun violence, etc. is so much higher in places like the UK (7% weekly attendence), Norway-6%, Germany-10%, Australia- 17%, etc., while heavily church attending countries like Uganda-82%, Honduras-94%, Nigeria-89%, are such happy, peaceful, stable, community oriented places.Going to Church is like getting free money.

This is what God spoke to me last nite. A church is a preacher and a.building to worship in. A church with secretaries a marketing firm, advertising, endowments, is a buisness not a church.

There are variables, of course, which is why I only mentioned America.
Also, Europe wasn't atheist until just a few decades ago.
Lol, look at this clown trying to redefine "religious bigotry" into church-goers' imagined persecution complex, instead of the reality of conservatives weaponizing organized religion and Christianity for the purpose of stripping away individual freedoms, personal liberties, and civil rights from broad swaths of the women, lgbtq, young, and minorities that make up the majority of our country.
that’s hard to believe since Jehovahs witnesses don’t believe in hellfire. Nor does the Bible teach it.
Very unusual encounter if accurate.
As stated belief in an immortal soul or hell fire is not in line with Bible teaching or what the witnesses preach
I’m guessing it was an awkward conversation with that individual when they left your door .
FYI, Jesus talked about Hell many times.
Don't believe Jehovas Witnesses.

Nah no fight… just differences of opinion . Course differing opinions without resorting to violence is unusual this day and age.,Church fight!! Church fight!!
Then tell me why Jesus talked about the resurrection? Or why Paul taught there would be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous?.or why Psalms says the righteous will inherit the earth ,FYI, Jesus talked about Hell many times.

Or Jesus said the meek will inherit the earth?
Not true. I see the Creator in action everyday. How’d you know that’s what I call my colon?
So basically this forum has sunk to three major topics.

I go to 2 churches that have the collection plate at the front near the altar.
That’s unlike every Catholic mass I’ve attended my entire life. When I was younger it was ushers with baskets attached to long as poles that they put in front of you as they went from front to back. Later the ushers passed a basket to the first person in each row and it was passed “person to person” from front of the church to back.
