Flaws of the big bang / atheism

[bigzak25]

I thought it was understood that I meant "4thly the church(es) I have attended."

my bad.

no problem. i understand now. i am sorry for your bad experiences.

do not give up Blake. we cannot let the jaded corrupt us.

contrarily, we must try to show them the way by being a living example of how it should be done.

bull crap.

If a tax exempt organization is building itself a fantastical house of God for it's own church members and not build equal or better houses of God for poverty stricken people on the other sides of town, then it's not hard for me to form an opinion that they are hypocritical of Jesus' teachings.

i completely understand your point of view.

however, the unfortunate fact is, that most affluent people are drawn to affluent looking churches.

if that's what it takes to get them to attend, then so be it.

that's half the battle.

next is the message being preached and the proper usage of any funds that are collected.

I believe a true Church of God will have a budget that allocates the vast majority of funds collected to helping those most in need.

Secondarily is the sustaining of the facility that brought the people in in the first place, and lastly, as needed, adding more capacity as the congregation grows.

you're painting too broad a stroke.

What religions are true? Which religions refer to the same God you are referring to?

A Good Father loves His children, and teaches them how to love others.

That is how you can tell what is true from what is false.

wise but irrelevant to the topic at hand.

i respectfully disagree. it seems many are searching for the answers.

i know i was for a very long time...

however, what each of us must determine of our own accord, is whether we are asking the right question.

the answers are in front of our faces everyday. multiple times a day.

but many can't see them for they are searching with a jaded heart or an egotistical mind.

TV ministries?

No, I can't guess which "one". Please tell me.

but i did tell you. i believe technologies developed to serve mankind are one of the key components to ending world suffering and proliferating world peace.

WHAT church?

You are painting too broad of a stroke.
I can rattle off a good number of very prosperous churches in San Antonio, Texas, the US, Vatican City and the World.

when you say prosperous, you are most likely speaking monetarily.

THE CHURCH...my church, your church, our church, every living beings church, which is based upon serving mankind with a servant's heart.

Expecting nothing in return. Rejoicing in the glory of our Service to mankind, in the name of God.
