...then why not come to church and find out for yourself? There are friendly Christian congregations almost everywhere!

Church is not about judging people; it’s about worshipping God and learning to love one another. We all sin, so no one is "better" than anyone else. But by God's amazing love, proven in Jesus' death and resurrection for our sake, anyone can be forgiven, cleansed, 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 diligently and persistently.

So, my QUESTION is:
Won't you join us in worship this week, and learn the truth for yourself?

Christians aren't perfect either, but to avoid church for that reason is like a sick person refusing to go to the hospital because the hospital has sick people in it.

Presbyter, it's been my experience that a living, growing relationship with God through Christ is supported by prayer, Bible reading, and fellowship with other Christians. It's like a three-legged stool. Take away one of the "legs" of the stool and you can still sit on it (if you're very careful) but, in my opinion, to be really strong and stable it needs all three. But if home Bible study works for you, then fine. There's no bad way to seek the Lord.

I don't know what church you go to but the churches I've experienced in the past 10 years were full of people judging others and I suspect yours is no different.

I don't expect Christians to be perfect but I do expect a new creation in Christ and Christ like behaviour and personally, I've seen too much of the opposite.

Can't someone worship God just as effectively at home? Can't they read the Bible themself and seek wisdom and truth instead of going to a church to listen to someone who is paid to tell them what it means?

Christianity is a good religion like many other religions and the basis of it is belief rather than reasoning. There are many other things in this world based on science for the betterment of humanity. For example neogenics or eugenics. Details are given below:

NEOGENICS (EUGENICS?) IN A NUT- SHELL

WHAT IS NEOGENICS?
It is human genetics applied to alleviate human sufferings and to improve the human gene pool. With this we copy nature’s own reproductive plan (differential fertility). Major social problems like crime, poverty and illness are partly genetic and the remedy should also be genetic. So think genetically and act genetically. Good genetic endowment is the best asset to attain prosperity and except human beings all other living creatures survive and progress in this way.

WHAT CAN WE ACHIEVE?
1. Neogenics bridges the genetic gap in certain superior traits existing between the elite and the average. It compensates the selective migration of superior genetic stock from the poor to the rich, from the rural to the urban areas and from the underdeveloped to the developed nations.
2. Biological socialism leads to economic socialism. All attempts made so far to achieve economic socialism by imposing Marxism/communism have not achieved the desired goal. Capitalist countries witnessed considerable economic progress but failed miserably in equitable distribution of wealth. Biological socialism is the only hope to bridge the gap in wealth between the rich and the poor in a democratic way.
3. Neogenics helps increase the number of good minds and to reduce crime, corruption, cruelty etc. Attempts to transform society through moral preaching have not yielded any lasting results. Genetic transformation of the society will assure lasting peace and harmony. Repeated studies of twins have proved again and again the genetic basis of intelligence and behavior.
4. Racial mingling through neogenics will put an end to violence created on racial grounds.
5. By reducing the incidence of genetically transferable diseases (most diseases have a genetic base), great improvement in health can be achieved and thereby considerable reduction in medical expenditure.
6. Increasing the intelligence and EQ of the common man according to the needs of a civilized and technologically advanced society. The benefits of ascending EQ & IQ in a population are rather beyond our imagination.
8. Neogenics is the only method now available to correct genetic disorders in order to protect the right of the unborn. A child has a legal right to begin life with a sound mind and a sound body.
All these will reduce human suffering and place the human race on an evolutionary track as nature has been doing for the last several millions of years. It may be noted that we are the only species capable of directing our evolution in a manner that suits our wisdom leading to the betterment of our less fortunate fellow citizens and the species as a whole.
HOW TO ACHIEVE (ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS GIVING FULL RESPECT TO FREE WILL?
1. Encourage the production of more children among the healthy and the gifted couples.
2. Discourage the reproduction of the habitual criminals, mentally challenged and the sick.
3. Start sperm/egg banks of selected donors of better EQ and IQ for the benefit of the infertile couples (10 to 12 per cent of the population) and for those daring couples who want to bring about improvement of the genetic stock of their future generations.
4. Popularize genetic screening and genetic counseling to prevent genetically transmitted diseases
All the above steps may be needed till the advancement of genetic engineering reaches a level that enables genetic transformation of a society or individual through gene therapy, cloning or other means yet to be discovered or envisaged.
COUNTRIES PRESENTLY WITH EUGENIC AGENDA: Singapore, China & Israel.

DONATE BLOOD AND SAVE A LIFE; DONATE GOOD GENES AND SAVE THE ENSUING GENERATIONS. GOOD GENES OFTEN BRING WEALTH BUT WEALTH NEED NOT BRING GOOD GENETIC ENDOWMENT.

People have different beliefs than you do, not everyone is interested in Christianity. I get plenty of peace, joy, freedom, happiness, fulfillment from my religion.
