I am not religious and have no desire to start being now but sometimes I just want the community people get with church. I am craving connection with the community and feel it’s very healthy for families and neighbors as well. The United States is seriously lacking in third spaces and communities. It’s leading to a serious loneliness epidemic… Just wondering if there is anything that can fill that need for non-religious folks?
Damn. Why cant every church be like this ? Why cant it be: be good to each other. I dont care if you believe in sky fairy or Buddha. But dont be an asshole.
End of sermon. There’s cookies out front and we are serving soup for anyone unhoused on Wednesday night. We would appreciate any volunteers. Be excellent to each other!
What do you call this denomination???
That is something I never understood about Christianity: Why would God place equal importance to “being a good person” and “believe in me or else”?
To me it seems like being a good person should be way more important. But in practice it seems like believing in God is the key and everything else is secondary, like you can be an asshole but just make sure you’re a believer.
