I am looking for a non denominational church to attend on Sundays, one with enthusiasm and singing and enthusiastic and encouraging ministering. I am Catholic but have made a concerted effort not to force my 8 year old son to go tomass because of the boredome factor. He has Autism and is motivated by music and upbeat speaking. I want to find a church where every sermon isn't about giving to the church. I don't want someone telling me who is "evil" in the world ( ie gays, people living together that aren't married, single moms, druggies, criminals). And this is probably a toughy, but I really tend to stray away from any severe and literally bible thumping.
Can anyone stir me to some church in the Detroit area that has some or all of these qualities?

Seriously. I want to applaud you for being rude & ad-hominus to Christians. You are at least living out your beliefs...and it is refreshing to see consistency.

***I am trying to reword this, so forgive the redundancy.***

Deuteronomy 13:6-8
'If your brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife tries to secretly entice you, telling you to go and worship other gods, gods of people living near you, or far from you, or anywhere on earth, do not listen to him. 'You must kill them. Show them no pity. And your hand must strike the first blow.

I am amazed at my experience on this site tonight.
There is so much animosity created because if religion. Sorry, it's mostly americans who are to blame, on this site anyway.

Basically, if you are a christian, or whatever, don't you realise the irony in hating other religions?! Christianity teaches love and forgiveness etc etc. I just cannot believe the cruelty i have seen some christians on this site use towards athiests, gay people, catholics, muslims, etc etc.

YOU ARE CHRISTIANS! You are not meant to hate! Yet you allow your religion create such disharmony, don't you see how wrong that is?!

I am not often sarcastic, but it seems like many people assume my statements are...maybe I am just ignorant. Anyhow, are you sarcastic & do you assume others are sarcastic too?

In other words,

Since religious adherents will not change their beliefs for anything - even blatant evidence,

is it safe to say that the reason they really really believe (some claim to know) is because of a psychological delusion?

One of the most basic objections by creationists to evolution seems to be: why would God need to take the time to evolve things over time, when he could have simply created them "already evolved" at the start?

I would respond with a question: Why would God take 6 days to create the universe, if he could have done it all in just 1?

This is not a joke, and is not meant to be disrespectful of Christians. It is an honest question. Why do you see no problem with God taking longer than he needs to to "pop" everything into existence, but then turn around and see a giant problem with God taking longer than he needs to to form life from other life (i.e., to evolve it) gradually? If the 6-days account is not problematic, then why on Earth would the 13-billion-year account be? Surely either length of time is equally unnecessary for an omnipotent Creator.

I may get attacked for this but I assure you I'm not jesting, I'm really just curious and I'm in search of an answer as serious as my question. What I'm trying to get at here is having to do with it being a choice. If god accepted homosexuality and it was natural & acceptable in society, why would you stay heterosexual? Why wouldn't you try homosexuality? If god and the bible and nature weren't a reason why not, what reasoning would you have to remain heterosexual?

... a man who has been ruthlessly killing off other true believers comes to you to make peace saying that he has seen Jesus(p) in a 'vision' and in that 'vision' Jesus commanded him to systematically disobey everything that Jesus did when he was alive?

What would you do if this man told you that Jesus gave him the right to preach and command in his good name and then commanded you to be like the pagans, to adopt their holidays to change your Sabbath, etc. just so the religion would be 'easier' and 'more appealing'?

What if this man said that good deeds, moral standing, etc. don't matter anymore? That just simply 'believing' is good enough in this life?

Would you follow that man?

How does the "give & take" help you to broaden your information, understanding, and experience of people with other belief systems or even with your own faith tradtion?

When I first came to this site around six months ago,christians would choke if they tried to use the "E" word.
I now see more and more saying that they believe in god AND evolution and some even claiming it as an invention of god.
Are they finally starting to see the light but are too scared to admit they might have been wrong?

If pagans, wiccans, and other religions who do not believe in are evil then what do they think of the people that do believe in god?
So if I am evil for not believing in you does that make you evil in not believing in me?

Theory 1
We evolved from a long line of primate species

Theory 2
Man was made from dust and woman was made from his rib


Which do you believe?That we are walking bones of dirt or we are a species with a long history of overcoming many obstacles as we evolved from various forms of primates?Which "theory" is really hard to believe?Which one sounds more unlikely?
