My church donations are taken off on my income tax.
For about ten years I didn't go to church regularly. Now I attend regularly and it helps me a lot ~ I enjoy listening to the Message and the Music and seeing my church friends.
Not going to church does not make a Christian an atheists IMO.
The last time I talked to God, he told me that it was OK for me to stay home if I wanted to do so. He also told me that I would still be "one of his children" if I didn't read the Bible regularly.
My friends that never go to church have about the same kinds of good health/bad health as my church members. The names on the programs and the Funeral Services listed seem to get longer and longer --- granted I belong to a large Methodist Church that has many members that are over 80 years and now hundreds of delightful young members.
Some say you have to be Baptized to be a Christian ~ I was but I was too young to remember it. : )
The last I read the Bible ~ the so called "Christians" like Bryan are not following the basis message in the Bible ~ The Ten Commandments ~ they get an " F."
Let's start with " Do Unto Others..."
Bryan needs to check his Mental health for sure and he probably needs to check his Blood Pressure for getting so angry and bossing other people.......
" Bryan Fischer, the public face of the American Family Association, said yesterday that the government should mandate that all Americans go to church or otherwise be taxed for endangering their physical health.
Just my thoughts
