I've always been considered mature for my age. They don't tell you about the downside of that until it's too late. :funlaugh2 I like that loose feeling. I've had the misfortune of being involved in several car accidents over the years. Between the cervical and spinal issues, my muscles tense...

Since at least June. It's been kind of rough these past few months. It beats the alternative. Have you taken a gander at the Christian section? I made a meme thread about the Iran war and nobody even bothers with it. No one wants to have fun. They just want others to pray for them because they...

No. Why do you think I post here all the time? :funlaugh2

I feel nothing. I'm apathetic towards most things today. I miss getting excited for things. The novelty of life has worn off. Maybe that happens when you're in your late 30's and your family has broken apart. It's hard to care anymore about any damn thing. Much less reading the bible or praying...

This is more my style...

Not often.

Both. Evangelical music is as flat as a board and lyrics sound like something ripped out of a third rate pop song. Yes. I found they didn't much to say that was of interest to me. They'll drop you like a bad habit and pretend you don't exist if you leave the church or begin to question...

Because I don't like it. The only aspect that I ever enjoyed was the community, being around other people. I can't stand the music or listening to some pastor regurgitate the same tired sermon over and over again. I found that hanging out with my church friends afterwards was much more fun. So...

No. I think I need it, but don't want it.

Needing and wanting are two different things. One can want the church without needing it.

It depends. If you're that guy that walks around asking random people if they lift, then you should probably understand that most people find that annoying. :unamused:

That's not true. Everybody knows that @Riven is the king of the universe. :dusted:

I think that makes sense. One doesn't need the church to believe in God.

I was in the youth group around 20 years ago. This was during the time of the new atheists movement. Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris, etc. The youth pastor I had at the time set up a debate between me and some random person. Which I imagine was somewhat unusual, but maybe her was struggling himself...

Well that's not the normal McDonald's drive thru experience. How did the topic of carpentry come up, I wonder? :IDK:

Case in point. Do you think you're forming a relationship with someone at McDonald's when you order a Big Mac? :funlaugh2

Generally speaking, I find them to be rather uneducated. They believe in nonsense and they can't even explain why they believe what they believe. Why do you think they shout so much during the sermon? It's all an act, and not even a good one

I wasn't aware we had a relationship. I'm curious, what has changed it in your mind? As you wish.

Okay... retired pastor. Up until recently you were very willing to answer my questions. But if that is no longer the case, then so be it.
