I can understand your points? Are you a Xtian? The first one is really fare to ask, and r u referring to TITHE as TAX?

From my understanding Tax is imposed by the goverment while tithe is required by God-------Malachi 3:10

Can you name one thing that could NOT be done by other institutions if we did not have churches? The churches are superfluous to requirements in The Age of Reason. All they are now are a thinly-disguised means of exploiting the simple and vulnerable.

LMAO @ Horus


Everyone to his wishes. Well, the churches were there b4 u were born and I figure they would still be thier long time after u are gone. So, bro, just live with it.


Stuff I would love the church(es) to do
Be more involved with the day to day lives of members. Does not make sense (@ least to me) that a pastor or a priest would be driving in posh cars while members lack transport fare. Not make sense that a pastor be living in a 6 bedroom complex with a family of four while members are struggling accomodation problems. Eating 5 meals a day while members pray for just one meal a day.

Well, ur argument will be valid if everybody in the world thinks there is no God. But as far as the majority of the earth's population believes in God then there is a need for churches, synagogues, mosques, temples etc

You are right. These "houses of gods" are Institutions For the Promotion of Ignorance and credulity". As long as there as such people who feed of the falsehood of the clerics, they will want these "houses".

They contribute to the division in society.The churches, are all competing against one another. There are churches who are of the same denomination, in the same town, the same diocese, which mean they have the same beliefs and worship the same God. Yet, they never come together. What is so ironic is that these churchgoers all feel that church is the place for unification and love.
Re: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN A CHURCH? by Rlst84sale(m): 10:20pm On Feb 21, 2008
1) Reduce/completely eradicate Noise polution night or day

2) Establish an institution of a minimum criteria in developing leaders of integrity for the society

3) Let churches be accountable for how the funds they collect is appropriated by 1. giving statement of yearly contribution to each member. 2. Providing or publishing their total collection for the year to the goverment and make it a public record. 3. Let there be distance, and space requirements for churches to be located in the same vicinity.
Re: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN A CHURCH? by KOLA7: 10:26pm On Feb 21, 2008
Thanks for input, what would be the goal of giving church statement to every member? like what would that achieve?

3. Turn every man to Christ.
