Do you ever miss it?
#15
RE: Do you ever miss it?
The friendliness and caring was as you said warm and fuzzy. Our old church donated a lot of food to us after my brother's suicide which was wonderful and made us all feel very cared for...and yes we thanked them very warmly and gave them a donation for their caring, it goes hand in hand with my theory that religion does do some good in the world and we very much appreciated their kindness...but do I miss the backwardness, prejudice inspiring messages or singing twelve hundred songs over and over again in a couple hours time, absolutely not.

I would go back out of curiosity, family reasons (such as taking my Grandma), to admire the pretty buildings (lol I'm an art fan) or like aleialoura said to see it through Atheist eyes.
~*~Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does ~*~

~*~Live a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones - Marcus Aurelius~*~
