...My mother-in-law goes to a Monastery in Pennsylvania one weekend a year for prayer, to read the Word, and to relax, away from computers, cell phones, and normal responsibilities. She pays a small fee, and really enjoys this place. It is quiet and she has plenty of time for reflection and meditation.
...Have any of you ever done this?
...I live in northern Virginia. I have heard of one monastery in Berryville, VA, where I can have such a retreat.
...Another real possibility is for my wife and me to go together. I have been wanting us to do this for a long, long time.
...Do any of you know of another place in the DC Metro area or in Virginia where I could have a retreat as I have described?
...Thanks in advance; only sincere answers, please.

In this I mean where people fill in gaps of (scientific) knowledge with the simple explanation of 'God'

i.e. "No-one can explain how the universe began, so it has to be God... "

1. Do you think that those your own faith are guilty of employing it?

2. Do you think that those of other faiths are guilty of employing it?

I know that Atheism only implies a disbelief or lack of belief in God(s) or a higher power.

Many people that use this site seem to be directly opposed to Theism in any sense.

To these people the question is:
Do you object to people believing in a higher power, or do you object to the institutions and docterine often surrounding these beliefs?
(This only applies to those that would like to see a world without religion)

Clearing your mind of your daily grind, and just listening.
Or does it bring God closer to you?.
Or does it invite God to sit with you a little?
Or does it have nothing to do with God, and just be a healthy practice?

My 11 year old son came to me this morning telling me that a friend of his said the author of "The Golden Compass" doesn't believe in God. I explained to him that just because someone doesn't have the same views or same opinion as he does doesn't make them a bad person. I truly believe that and believe that "Do not judge others" is one of the most important passages that frequently gets ignored by everyone.

Any way this led me to ask this question becaue I thought it was interesting. If Atheism is the belief in the non existance of God or other dieties doesn't that mean that they have to believe in something in order to say that they don't believe?

A God of choice that allows for mistakes. A forgiving God that cares for the downtrodden and champions the weak. I am not saying that this is what is manifest in today's newsreports. But is it possible?

or do they just do this crazy game I like to call:
'Bible' also know as
'Let's pick passages from one source, out of context, to support our viewpoint'

I can play that game too, so let's go for it! I'm ready! and bored!

(Santa/ tooth fairy/ Easter Bunny) only to pull the plug on their belief as an adolescent?

I know how I feel about this but wonder how other people feel. Thanks!
