    The abuse argument is a nonstarter. The community argument is correct.

      I wholly agree with him. The reason we have sought a church in the past is the community aspect which is sorely lacking in current American life.

        Deciding that I didn't believe in God did it for me.

        Bizarre, I know.

        I was only joking

          We're going to church this morning. Even as a non-believer, I rather enjoy being around people who do believe.

          Education is extremely important.

              And that's a stretch, even for God.

                    I always thought that religion (of any type) is about a sense of community or belonging. Kind of like a gang for good people. LOL

                    If people THINK that they can find that elsewhere, one of the reasons for being a part of a religion is gone. It seems like social media is trying to replace that. Dont think that is better, but it is what it is.

                      That's only one part of it. That's not all of what religion is.

                        That is true. What would you add to what religion is?
