I agree, having a religion is worthless. Experiencing a personal encounter with the living God through the life-changing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is an undeniable, life-transforming confession.
You bring out a good point--most of the people who attend mass look so BORED. A Catholic I know said "Mass was good today. Father only spoke for 10 minutes". She, like so many others, was attending church only because it was expected of her and she couldn't wait to get out of there.
I saw very little enthusiasm during services. Most people just can't wait to go home. All that kneeling and standing and kneeling--what is the appeal? I'm sure people's time could be much better well spent.
great vid!! as a new member of AA I would like to say Thank You Joe for the work you have done and the work that you are doing for Atheists. Thank You
Both Koreas have lots and lots of Buddhists. Christian missionaries have made in-roads, so there are also Christians, especially in South Korea. Many of them have moved to America, so we now have lots of Korean Christian churches. I saw lots of them in NYC. I believe religion is allowed in totalitarian countries like that because they keep it TOTALLY out of the government affairs. It doesn't pose a threat, so they don't oppress it much. Buddhism is much less threatening than Islam or Xianity.

Churches can be beautiful buildings..
BUT hard to see passed the fact they are tax exempt.. Irritating the hell out of me..

Yeah, and everyone always blabs about oppression in China. Churches are there- they just don't get tax exempt status.

very interesting :)
all people on the planet need to know that you can live a good life without religion, and that there are many people that reject all religious faith.
