Hello brother (see my icon)!
Agree for the most part. Except for maybe the Dalai Lama.
Laypeople especially. The more that they seek the truth and comfort in the teachings (that should be dogma) the further they really are from knowing "god" or the source.
Keep the unfaith brother!

I think whether a person is close to the church or not is neither here nor there. All humans are fallible and prone to "sin"; going to church makes us no less human. Although churchgoers feel a close relationship with God, they are consistently taught that their sins ( including those against others ) can and will be forgiven,so they may have to propensity to become complacent about their actions and, in turn, not do as well as someone who has their own moral code separate from the church. Therefore, I think it is quite possible that non churchgoers may, indeed, be just as close or closer (and the churchgoers just as far or farther, for that matter) to God, whether they know it or not .
Jmmevolve, who are you to decide that deep.blue62 is being judgmental? Wouldn't that be judgmental? It was just a question, not a in depth analysis of his thoughts and opinions.

You may have a point. There are some who seem very devoted, but who are evil at heart. There are some Biblical examples such as the pharasees and saducees, and those mentioned in Mat 7:22, 23.
There are far fewer who are dedicated to the church and to God.

Agree.
It's like this:
Say you go to a technology training school. You take your classes and get your degrees.
Are you ready to run and manage a corporate network without any experience? No.
Same thing with church. You learn all this teaching and morality in church, but what good is it if you spend all your time in church with people who are like minded?
You learn about real spirituality, humanity, and life by experiencing other people from all walks of life, not by staying sheltered in a church all day.
What you learn in church should be guidelines for living, not rules carved in stone.

agree many people who attend church regularly are hypocritical in that they judge others for not being good christians but seem to ignore that its sposed to be God who judges and not man

I definately disagree...I'm very close to my church because they support me through my every day life, if it wasn't for their supporting me I may go back to making bad choices in my life. I learn alot going to my church....

As my father in law says, THERE ARE MORE CHRISTIANS OUT OF CHURCH THAN THERE IS IN CHURCH!
