Church is amazing



Church is amazing regardless of whether or not you believe in God.

Obviously church means different things to different people, and it will be especially different for you if you don't believe in God than it would be if you did, but that doesn't mean you can't get something out of it. You can still learn, have fun, grow, and meet people.

I'm probably offending so many people from both sides with this, but really, if you're offended, then you're just contributing to the animosity and segregation that permeate organized religion so often these days. If you do believe and think that people who don't believe shouldn't go to church, you're wrong. If you don't believe and think you shouldn't go to church, you're wrong.

You may not be there for the same reason, and you may not always see eye to eye, but the important thing is that you're working to grow and learn, about life, about people, about history, about all sorts of things, and you're doing it together.

So if you believe, go.
And, if you don't believe, go.
They're different experiences, but they're both great.
