Church

[dc_guy_75]

Church is for people who think they can telepathically communicate with deities by praying.

For catholics, church is also a place for people to practice symbolic cannibalism, eating Jesus's flesh and blood. Yum!

Church is also a place to give money, and its generally true, deities tend to be terrible with finances and they need your help!

co-sign church is for the weak minded period,theres as much
evidence for the easter bunny as there is for god do you pray to her also?

Wait, the Easter bunny is a chick? So why is "she" so often pictured with a vest and bowtie?

Alert Markyboy, this may shed some light on his FTM question!

I go to church on Sundays to thank God for my blessings. I am Puerto Rican, so I have also believe in Santeria.
Being a transexual is our gender.
That does not stop me from being a child of God.
God made me different, and I accept that.
God is good to me and I look after my fellow man.
That is why no matter how low other miseable transexuals go to try and slander me, defame me or bring me down, I never go down.

Church is what you make of it.
God is real and I believe in him.
The building is just a quiet space for me to go and worship and thank in my own way.

Church is boring but each to their own.
God isn't real it's a made up thing, I believed in Father Christmas when I was a child it doesn't make him real.
The building is a way to control the masses and extract money.

You are not Gods child/creation you are a product of millions of years of evolution. You can either accept this or deny it, there is nothing to believe or not believe in.

Spoken like a true novice. Well done, professor.....you fail.

If you could point to any real sources that display more than a knee-jerk analysis, you might have a case but that drivel you offer only betrays your actual level of understanding.
Time to hit the library.......check out Freud and Eliade... they both examine the flaws and construction of organized religion. If you're going to make such sweeping statements, you're going to have to do better than that lame Santa Claus analogy.

I can only speak for myself. I believe in God, and he has blessed me.

Seems like the christian god is paternalistic.

The idea that a supernatural entity would have a gender is absurd.

To think there is a supernatural entity in control of the universe (that a person can worship, communicate thoughts, has human emotions) is even more absurb.
