Holy freaking crap! Pastor attempts to impersonate an atheist, badly.

For what?

For making a joke.

So you can go to a cave and wait for the rapture while you starve to death or drink poisoned Koolaid?

You've been to McDonalds then.

The Church is in decline because it is a failed institution. State governments have taken it over.

That's what Christians aimed for. Now that is reversing, not increasing.

There is no Church. There has never been a "spiritual" Church. Since the death of Christ it has been nothing more than a power grab from Peter to Paul to the Popes to Luther to the Assembly of God Gospel Hour of Health and Wealth.

People fail. Most definitely.

You and your faith. You're so arrogant.

You're obviously not talking about me, not knowing me and all.

You'd probably let yourself be burned at the stake just to show God somehow your will is relevant to His plan. Right?

Whatever floats your boat Ed. I think you've endeared yourself nicely to your new comrades

I'd just like to toss this back at you:

My point is just this: in general, we should be open-minded and in no way dogmatic about anything.
