When Jesus said he could build a temple in three days he said so because he knew a temple wasn't the building...it was when two people got together and talking about the spirit and life and awe. It is no coincidence that we have a body part on our head near the brain and mind...yep called a temple. That is where worship and respect and spirit really reside.<BR/><BR/>Great post, deep and funny-a rare talent to pull that off.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Candy<BR/>http://gnosticminx.blogspot.com/Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1151700525044587252006-06-30T13:48:00.000-07:002006-06-30T13:48:00.000-07:00you want good reasons to hate going to a Church:1-...you want good reasons to hate going to a Church:<BR/>1- Do a search on Google and find stuff about: 1- Why ex-PopeJohn Paul II and all of Poland worshipped The Black Madonna<BR/>2- Search for the ebook "The 2 Babylons" (http://philologos.org/downloads/ttb_pdf.zip)<BR/>3-Read the Book "The World's 16 Crucified Saviors" that you can find here "http://englishatheist.org/16/16.shtml"<BR/>4- SEARCH FOR THE ORIGINS OF CHRISTMASS & THE LINKS WITH PAGANISM<BR/><BR/>You've given good reasons why not to go to church, but believe me that' not even the tip of the iceberg of BULLSHIT !<BR/><BR/>P.S. if you believe in God, then you should worship him by his name and should know his sons name. To find that out, you should know about hebrew names (a bad example Ossama Bin Laden) and the right pronouciation of The Tetragrammaton ).

You can find some of the worst backstabbing, gossipers around; faking the funk like a mug: praising and worshipping, then turning around to talk about you to sister Johnson. But like August said, people are still people and it's not supposed to be about them anyway. It's about you and your relationship with God. I mean, he does see them AND us when we are doing wrong.<BR/><BR/>I ahve this thing about being perfect for God when I know that is utter bs. It's really the people "of the church" that I'm worried about looking bad in front of.<BR/><BR/>*I swear this is my last comment on Tyler...LMAO<BR/><BR/>In response to August's comments about Tyler: Just because God ain't said every three seconds, Tyler's plays are always about God in some way.<BR/><BR/>The Lord's not just about praising and worshipping. You are supposed to have God in every aspect of your life, so why wouldn't his plays talk about adultery and other "worldly" things?ChiChihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725652726392364966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1151696755933153232006-06-30T12:45:00.000-07:002006-06-30T12:45:00.000-07:00This post was so damn funny!

I stopped going to the church three years ago, when I witnessed a boy having and epileptic attack (? not sure if it's called that way) falling on the floor right in front of the priest and nearly chewing his tongue up. EVERYONE ignored him and the people that I tried to push out of my way to go and help the boy didn't let me, nearly held me. The priest didn't miss a beat. Then I guess I stopped believing too. Not that I don't believe in higher powers as such I stopped believing in the church. Great post I must admit some people in your article were unknown to me but it still was very much fun!CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17555431785204713112noreply@blogger.com
