So from about grade 6 forward my beliefs about god and the world matched my dad's world view. Which meant I could justify anything I wanted to do so long as it didn't hurt no one. Just like he did. Which is probably why I spent the next 10 years of Sundays doing whatever he did.
yes my father knew enough bible to use it to justify whatever he did, and I picked this up as well.
I don't need to go to church at all. I can literally do whatever I want. But the point of worship is not about you/me. It's about bringing glory to god. which is just easier in a Jesus Christ centered church.
I go to church to help those who go to the church who are in need. again going to church is not about what I get out of it it is about giving to others.
OK, but, then why are you here? Why do you need to argue with atheists and want validation for your belief(s)? You are certainly not giving to us (atheists) and we are certainly not in need. Kind of against what you profess to be.
I suggest that you let us be us and you be you and move on.
to make friends and to have fun talking about religious things.
I can do that if that is what most of you guys want. I am on reddit as well so you can always find me there.
