...then why not come to church and find out for yourself? There are friendly Christian congregations almost everywhere!
Church is about worshipping God, not judging other people. No one is perfect, so no one is "better" than anyone else. But by God's awesome love and Jesus' resurrection, anyone can be forgiven and healed.
A church fellowship is also about building strong communities, connecting with neighbors, and making new friends. In addition to regular Saturday or Sunday worship and children's programs, most churches offer extra worship services, Bible-study groups, community service, volunteer opportunities, outreach programs, coffee-and-chat groups, and other activities throughout the week.
Think church isn't for you? Remember, to gain the real treasures--peace, joy, freedom, happiness, fulfillment, and eternal life--we must go where they can be found, and seek them with persistence and patience.
Won't you join us in worship this week?

I don't need forgiveness because I have done absolutely nothing wrong. Most people who go to church don't know how to live a good life, they take drugs, smoke weed, and then gets cleaned up by reading the bible. So these people are weakminded first, and then they learn the bible to improve there life. Well, I am an Athiest and I don't do such decadent and abusive behaviors like taking drugs or having lots of sex with children like these old men molesters in your church. You guys are freaks and weak minded people. I never drank one once of alcohol, and never do any of the sins you guys talk about, but at the same time, I can accept being nothing after death. It does not bother me. But that apparently bothers you bible huggers. That is wjhy you follow the Jesus stuff. You guys are weak!!!!!!!!!!!

So what about the Westboro Baptist Church? What about the Megachurches of the Christian Coalition who are interested solely in preaching the tenets of theocracy and running for office? What about Joel Olsteen saying that if you give 10% of your income to his church, you'll be blessed by good fortune?
Does every church present an accurate depiction of Christianity? I don't think that's the case.

I feel a Monty Python skit coming on...
SPAM! SPAM! SPAM! SPAMMITY SPAM-DE-SPAM!
I already have all of your "treasures" without being Christian, waiting until death for "eternal life" is just kooky. I donate to charity, volunteer my time, and have all the same wholesome goodness that you do, but I don't have to be instructed how to do it or be threatened with eternal pain and hellfire.
In short, I have all the good things in life, without all your nasty church gobbledygook. So what would possibly motivate me to go? I don't care what you believe in as long as you leave me be.

From what you've written here its obvious you would'nt know a
TRUE Christian if he/she came knocking on your door and tried
to show you the GOOD NEWS..You would probably turn that per-
son away without a second thought.Would'nt you?
