I've been attending Church?

I've been attending Church?
The town I live in (I moved here about, say, a year ago) has a fantastic congregational church. It's really very different from the Roman Catholic churches I'm used to. I wouldn't say I attend their masses religiously (ha, get it), but I've gone about twice in the past couple of months. The pastors are awesome dudes.

The name of the place is the Wantagh Memorial Congregational Church, and they're one of the largest supporters of same-sex marriage in the US. They're awesome people, and I always like to help them out with any of their charity events, funding them, etc.

Good people. You might recognize their signs (there's a couple that went viral on the web)

And if you're wondering, I'm still very much atheist (in fact, I know three other guys who attend mass there who are still atheist).

RE: I've been attending Church?
Don't worry, you're not the only one who is involved in a christian group to help out with charity. I myself am involved with an allegedly non-religious/open-to-all-religions organization, but it is really heavy on the Jesus crap. Apart from that I think that they work for worthy goals, so I just tend to ignore that and focus on the good stuff. Smile
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
