Atheists and agnostics, will you take the Pepsi Challenge and go to a Luthern Church this weekend?

Question

One of the other agnostics who uses this website and I have been emailing about an interest in going to a Christian Church just to see what we see and try and get some spiritual fulfillment out of it. I don't intend to wear a sackcloth praising Jesus but it would be I feel interesting to have something more than just books and internet for spiritual fulfillment.

So who is interested, we could rotate the religious ceremonies we go to, call it religion of the month club, then correspond about how it worked out for us spirituially.

So this month a Luthern Church, maybe next week a neo-pagan ceremony.

So the question here on yahoo answers is, to agnostics or spiritual atheists, who wants to take the Pepsi challenge tomorrow morning and go to a Luthern Church and see what we see and see if there is any spiritual fulfillment.

Answer 1

I've been unchurched for awhile now. I might actually take you up on it, but being pretty familiar with the different denominations, I know a Lutheran church wouldn't work for me at all. I might hold off until pagan week. Or maybe you want to try a Quaker meeting or a Unitarian church?

Answer 2

I've been to a Lutheran Church... hope you find more than what I did.
And I can tell you that the neo-pagan thing will look ridiculous... you won't find fulfillment, just a lot of ppl chanting and dancing in circles. (And I'm a pagan). But, I wouldn't want to deter you from experiencing it anyway... so when you go, lemme know what you think about it.

Answer 3

Lutheranism is a descendant of Protestantism.

Attending church is only one aspect of spiritual fulfillment. Having Christ in your life is the beginning. Finding Christ is the hard part.

How about an Eastern Orthodox Church?

Answer 4

i'm an atheist and bypass to all of them. Why no longer? i'm notably open and love the pomp and condition. i will admit that i'm getting a touch nauseated on the fundie communities. Its like going to an previous formed tent revival assembly. I quite love the solomness of the believers - I attempt to discern out what they're somewhat wondering as I doubt its something to do with their so said as faith, perchance some....it is such interesting.

Answer 5

Jim, if you could get a hundred, no, make that fifty atheists, wait a minute, I'll settle for ten agnostics to come to church, I'll by all of you tickets to Bald Knob Cross in Alto Pass, IL. It is a megalithic monument, built by Christians, but open to any faith to worship under the sky. Every year, thousands of road warriors ascend the mount, and get their Harley's blessed (just in case).

Get back to the land, and set your soul free...

Answer 6

I already like Pepsi better than Coke, and I lovingly devoted seventeen years to a God who doesn't exist (and not just the run-of-the-mill chorch goer either, I was director of song service and sabbath school). Any part of me that was interested in the spiritual state of my soul died with my youth. Boohoo.

Answer 7

I went to baptist church for years as a kid. I get it. I'm not interested.

Would you like to come my church of Zeus though? It's pretty exciting, we've been converting xians for years. If it doesn't sound exciting enough, I was think of starting the church of Thor.

Then I have thunder AND lightning.

Answer 8

I used to go to church all the time. Still an atheist.

Answer 9

When skating on thin ice, allow others to take the lead. There is no disgrace in learning from others, particularly when doing so avoids putting yourself in jeopardy.

Answer 10

I went to a Hara Krishna meeting once. Very interesting. It's great to widen your horizons.
