Do you pray or go to church, especially if you are an agnostic theist.

There is no such thing as an Agnostic Theist or an Agnostic Atheist.

No I am a spiritual agnostic.. I have my own personal beliefs and I am not affiliated with any religion, doctrine or dogma... I do not pray to any god/s goddesses etc. Sometimes I may look up at the sky and say "Please don't rain!" but thats about it. As far as church.. I hate it can't stand it so dry and mechanical all the people just worshipping weirds me out. Nature is my church.. the rivers, lakes and wilderness my places of reverence.

You're really an AGNOSTIC THEIST?
You have made yourself a walking bulls-eye for any political or metaphysical interest listening...
Get this NO ONE HAS THE ANSWERS...You get a weird feeling that everythings interconnected? Great! Glad to see you've been paying attention!
Think there's an all seeing all knowing mind lurking behind it all? ITS CALLED A BRAIN, and since you only have access to a small portion of it at any one time, the rest gets projected on to your perception of reality...Its not Santa-clause, its just you...

An 'atheist' is a person who will 'never' believe in a God unless he can 'see, feel, and touch' God himself.
An 'agnostic' is a person who will believe in a god IF someone can 'prove' that God exists through 'earthly means.' An agnostic DOES NOT believe in God, but only 'has the capacity to believe' if good 'proof' is offered.
Therefore, whether a person is an 'atheist' or an 'agnostic' doesn't matter ... neither 'pray' because the 'do not believe.' You can NOT BE an 'agnostic theist' ... a 'theist' is a person who BELIEVES IN GOD and actually wants 'God' to 'rule this world' instead of politicians.

I do not go to a Christian church. In fact, I have seen enough christian love to know I will NEVER set foot in one ever again!
I do pray but mainly to Mother God.
I am going to try the Unitarian church for the first time tomorrow.
I am Agnostic Deist.

I occasionally attend Unitarian Universalist congregation or Unity Church of Practical Christianity.
Usually it is in connection with a community service project, but not always.
I used to meditate regularly, but that has fallen by the wayside.

To me, prayer is living in peace, extending goodness, communing truth and integrity, and desiring wellness for others.
To me, church is a focus of godliness. Since I see godliness all around, church is everywhere.

No.
Praying or going to church have nothing to do with leading a good life.
