What Godschild said above is true. I bet you never thought I'd say that did you, Godschild! Haha!
It doesn't matter whether you or I believe in god(s) or the truth of the bible(s) or any of the dogma associated with religion. It is plain to see that the fellowship and sense of community offered by a church congregation is a primarily positive thing. There is nothing wrong with togetherness and shared values. At least not for the individuals of said group. That is one of the strongest allures that organized religion has in it's arsenal. In fact, I'd be willing to bet, and I think Godschild would agree, that there are people belonging to church congregations that are primarily there for the feelings of belonging and acceptance... and may not really believe that strongly, if at all, in the dogma.
I also agree that there wasn't really any archaic or difficult to decipher wording there. What parts were you referring to, specifically?
