I stopped going to church about 5 years ago. I was turned off by all the hypocrisy. Most of the 'loyal' church-goers had questionable character, to say the least. Some adulterers, some drug-addicts, some alcoholics....the pastor was married to his kids former nanny, for crying out loud!

So now when I'm invited to church, I politely decline, pray at home and remember Mathew 6:5

Any similar experiences, and what are your thoughts?

If you atheists don't believe in God then what do you believe in? Just curious.

What would you do?
Would you keep taking stuff their that you know he does not like?
I took some stuff to an op shop and I heard the person that runs the place say that he is sick of people giving them printers and fax machines and so on.
Don't you think it is rude of him to say this so other people can hear?
He also does not like people who don't go to his church.

If you were a leader would you tell your people that they should bow down to you and worship you for their entire life?

I would like to found a charity. The concept is simple. I currently collect aluminum, originally soda can tops then the cans themselves, recycle them, and have the proceeds donated to Shriners Burns Hospitals.

My efforts have grown in size to a point that I am incurring higher personal costs than I would like. The philanthropy makes me feel good but I would like to be able to write off the expenses I am icurring such as raw materials for collection bins that I place at local businesses and schools as well as truck rentals to perform the collecting.

Do any of you know which government body I might contact to file for non-profit status? Or, given that my objective is simply to be able to write off my work as a charitabe donation is this even the route I want to take? All feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe when they crucified him, it was a metaphor for talking smack about him. I've heard a lot of people say that a person is being "crucified" when you really talk bad about em. Whatcha think?

I just reason from your answers, not giving an opinion.

It sounds contradictory to me. Couldn´t you guys believe without having to feed a church? You know, having your personal belief in a supreme power without giving so much to an institution that (you said it yourself) would not relinquish power so easily even to a god!
As an atheist I´d have an immense respect for a believer that is willing to search for his/her own version of the big picture.

I mean, History is replete with regents that did everything possible to ensure the success of their own dynasty (granted some were more loyal).
How would the men of the cloth react? Would they crucify our hypothetical jesus again?
Or would they bend backwards to give him the key to the Vatican... INCLUDING ALL THE MONEY THAT HAS BEEN ASSEMBLED OVER THE CENTURIES THROUGH (NOT SO) HONEST MANOEUVERS?
Would the TELEVANGELISTS turn their Cadillacs to jesus?
Would the Fundamentalists of all religions recognize the "return of the king" or would they kill him again?

Would they accept a severe sermon from the "savior" on how NOT TO RUN A RELIGION? Especially not one attached to his name?

Why do some religions call a minister Father when the bible states that this is wrong? Matthew chapter 23 versus 9-11
